Cedar Balusters

Be advised that inventory is subject to vary at different times of the year.

Port Orford

Western Red Cedar

Port Orford Cedar is the strongest cedar in the world. It turns very nice and has a very distinct Ginger like smell to it. These balusters are clear. There can be an occasional small tight knot in these but 95% of the stock we see is completely clear. We have been using this POC to build lures for over 7 years now. It turns, sands, and seals easily and will take paint very well. POC is typically used to make arrow shafts but because of it's strength and buoyancy it makes a excellent choice for poppers, swimmers, and floating needlefish lures. POC is an extremely dense wood, typically found in one section of the USA and grows only in higher elevations. It is a very slow growing tree very similar in properties to Alaskan Yellow Cedar.

1.5x1.5x36" Red Cedar Baluster, clear, turns, sands, and takes paint very well. Makes great poppers, metal lip swimmers, and floating needles. 16 fits in a box on these balusters.

Alaskan Yellow Cedar

Alaskan Cedar which is also known as AYC is a very slow growing tree found in the northwestern US and Canada,
it has extremely tight growth rings and is second in strength only to Port Orford Cedar.
