Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) is best known for its smell and its knotty, colorful face. As a veneer it brings both to drawer interiors, jewelry boxes, and closet panels, adding the classic cedar aroma without the cost of solid lumber.
What is aromatic cedar veneer?
Aromatic Cedar veneer is a thin slice of real wood cut from Aromatic Cedar. It is used to bring the look of the species across a much larger surface than solid stock would allow, and it keeps more of each log in play for real projects. This stock traces back to its native range.
Quick facts
Appearance and figure
The face mixes reddish-purple and salmon heartwood with streaks of near-white sapwood and small, dark, tight knots. No two sheets are alike. The color mellows over time, and a clear finish holds the reddish tone while sealing in some of the aroma.
Working and finishing tips
Best uses
Aromatic cedar is the classic liner for chests, closets, and drawers, and its color and knots also make eye-catching jewelry boxes, small panels, and decorative accents.
Sustainability and sourcing
Using veneer makes each log go further by turning a small amount of real wood into much more usable surface area.
