Cedar Facts
Old Adirondack Northern White Cedar, natural and untreated, is grown in moist swampy NE woodlands. Cedar absorbs and loses moisture slowly, which minimizes the dry cracking, splintering and swelling more characteristic of oak or pine. Cedar has the US Forest Products Laboratory highest rating for decay and disease resistance. Fresh cedar odor is a mild insect repellent.
Eastern White Cedar’s natural wood oils may develop a dust on the surface of the wood, which is the crystallization of the wood oils. These are normal and natural processes in cedar and in no way affect the strength or durability of the furniture. This dust can be easily removed with a dry cloth.
Old Adirondack Furniture includes durable zinc coated and stainless steel hardware. Minor assembly required (10-15 minutes).
Cedar Develops a weathered, silver grey patina in one year for most climates. Old Adirondack cedar products are shipped in their natural color, pale tan or light gold. The color changes evenly over time to a silver gray. Water-based or oil stains will delay the weathering process. Latex paint coats evenly and lets wood breathe. Occasionally, cedar will warp slightly during transportation, but usually the warp goes away once the furniture has been assembled.
