| Kiln Drying
 Kiln drying is not as common in cedar as it is in other wood species as the products are normally used in outdoor applications. If the application requires, cedar can be dried and, once the moisture content drops under 30%, the strength properties increase, and there is much less chance for stain, mold, or decay.
| Planing
 Traditionally cedar has been sold in rough form. Today the cedar facility has the ability to size and dress cedar lumber ranging from 1x3 to 4x4. As well, the facility can produce custom patterns to the customer’s specifications.
