{"title":"Spanish Cedar","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eAromatic, lightweight, and naturally resistant to the elements, Spanish Cedar is a versatile hardwood prized for its workability and warm, reddish hue. We offer premium Spanish Cedar lumber and panels ideal for humid environments and specialty projects such as humidors, cabinetry, doors, window frames, and exterior millwork. Despite its name, Spanish Cedar is not a true cedar but shares many of the same properties—notably its resistance to moisture, insects, and decay. It features a fine, straight grain and a pleasant cedar-like scent, making it a popular choice for lining closets and cigar storage. Its low density and ease of machining make it excellent for both hand and power tools. As a proudly Canadian company, Windsor Plywood specializes in hard-to-find wood species and offers expert, one-on-one service. Whether you're building a humidor or enhancing a high-humidity space, Spanish Cedar provides natural protection and refined beauty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"spanish-cedar-lumber","title":"Spanish Cedar Lumber","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpanish Cedar is the traditional wood for cigar humidors, closet lining, and applications where aromatic oils provide insect repellency.
