Cedar is hard wood. It is from angiosperm trees.
Western red cedar is not classified as a hardwood; it is actually a softwood. Softwoods come from coniferous trees, which typically have needles and cones, while hardwoods come from deciduous trees that lose their leaves in the fall. Western red cedar is valued for its durability, resistance to decay, and aromatic properties, making it popular for outdoor construction and furniture.
Yes, it would. Red cedar is a beautiful wood to use for bird feeders.
Cedar is a soft wood, it has a loose coarse grain.
Redwood is considered a Softwood because it is a gymnosperm BUT Redwood for flooring is considered a hardwood and it is considered the median. Using the Janka scale, redwood is 1290 and used as a comparative standard. Brazilian Cherry is considered an exotic hardwood with a Janka of 2350 or roughly 80% harder than Redwood. Now becareful when generically using the term "Redwood" as other species like Brazilian Redwood are rated as 3190. Redwood became the median as it is the most readily available hardwoods (Softwood,potato-po-tat-o). Hardwood, scientifically is determined to be any wood from a broadleaf tree and considered angiosperms (reproduce by flowers). Asking if a species is a hardwood for the purpose of selecting a hardwood floor is the not the correct method. Many people confuse the scientific vs the flooring definition of hardwood. From a marketing perspective using "Softwood" would not be enticing, unless you fall frequently and think it won't hurt as much when you land. You should be asking how durable and resilient a species is to your application. Children and pets in the home, or a clumsy handyman, may determine if the hardwood is "practical."
Hardwood mulch is made from various types of hardwood trees, providing a nutrient-rich, organic option that breaks down over time, enriching the soil. Cedar mulch, on the other hand, is derived specifically from cedar trees and is known for its natural resistance to insects and decay. While both types of mulch help retain moisture and suppress weeds, cedar mulch typically has a more aromatic scent and a longer lifespan due to its natural oils. Additionally, cedar mulch can be more expensive than standard hardwood mulch.
Yes; cedar gives your birdfeeder a good look,and it smells very nice, too.
Red Cedar Technology was created in 1999.
That would depend on the type of hardwood, but generally, the name comes from the tree type. Hardwoods such as Red Cedar, Elm, Cherry, Balsa, Teak, Mahogany, Maple and Oak. There are hundreds of different trees hardwood can come from, despite their weight, such as Cedar and Balsa. Hardwood is measured in density.
