Cedar wood is a type of timber derived from cedar trees, which belong to the genus Cedrus. Known for its durability and resistance to decay, cedar wood is often used in outdoor furniture, decking, and siding. Its natural oils help protect it from insects and moisture, making it a popular choice for various construction projects. In addition to its practical uses, cedar wood has a pleasant aroma and a beautiful reddish-brown color. It is also commonly used in the production of chests, closets, and cabinets due to its ability to repel moths and other pests, preserving stored items effectively.
