It feels better to build with Incense Cedar and Premium ExposedŽ Douglas Fir from C&D Lumber Company. Our legacy of service dates back a century, yet we’re ahead of the curve when it comes to innovative operations and sustainable forest practices.

PREMIUM EXPOSEDÂŽ DOUGLAS FIR

When Appearance Matters Strength and beauty combine in our Premium ExposedÂŽ timbers and 2" rough lumber. This line has become the preferred lumber for open-beamed construction.

Blemish-free and graded on an in-house grade rule that exceeds WWPA’s standards for pitch, shake, and wane.

INCENSE CEDAR DECKING

The Real Thing It’s ironic to say the least, to head for the outdoors and then spend it on a plastic deck. Especially when there’s smooth, sweet-smelling, all natural Incense Cedar Decking with its enduring stain-holding properties and natural resistance to decay.
