Red Cedar Lumber:
Aromatic Red Cedar is commonly used in closets and chests, as the distinct scent repels moths and insects. It is also great for fence posts, mantles, outdoor furniture, and carvings. Red Cedar also has a high thermal insulating value, and can greatly reduce noise flow.
Red Oak is one of the most commonly used lumbers, frequently for cabinets, furniture, flooring and interior trim.
White oak can vary significantly in appearance and color and has moderately high shrinkage, which can make it susceptible to movement. It is commonly used for cabinets, flooring, furniture and boats and exterior construction.
Yellow Pine is the state tree of Arkansas! Because of its high strength and resistance to wear, it is a prime choice of lumber for building construction, boats, flooring, and furniture.
As one of the most versatile and stable lumbers, walnut can be used for a variety of indoor applications including cabinets, furniture and doors.
With its smooth feeling and beautiful appearance, Cherry wood is a favorite for fine furniture, cabinetry and flooring.
