How do I finish my furniture?
- Oil/varnish combinations: the easiest to use, flood on, wipe off in 10-15 minutes; continue to touch up as needed.
- Oil/Water Based Stain: Your cedar chair can be stained any color utilizing a good brand of oil or water based stain; paint on, wipe off; maintain as needed
- Paint: to paint cedar you must first utilize an acrylic water based primer followed by a water based acrylic enamel top coat; if you do not use a primer, the cedar will always “bleed through”” your top coat.
How do I care for my furniture?
Care for Western Red Cedar is easy. You do as much or as little as you want. If you need to clean it, simply use a power washer or a stream nozzle on your water hose. Use 180 grit sandpaper to smooth the rough edges.

What is the best thing about this furniture?

We use only select Western Red Cedar as our feedstock of choice, since it is simply the finest outdoor building material available! It is light, the resin is poisonous to insects, and the Species features an extremely high thermal factor. Western Red Cedar has 80% of the tensile strength of Oak, and is pound-for-pound stronger than steel!
