Considered part of the cypress family of trees, Northern White Cedar has a pleasant mild fragrance and warm colored wood that lends itself nicely for use as a cedar bed. It is native to the Northeastern United States and the Appalachian Mountains. Because it grows fairly quickly, it is a very renewable resource, especially compared with traditional hardwoods used in bedroom furnishings.

In most cases, the bark is peeled away from the trunk, either by hand or machine. This exposes the rich knotting and grain of the wood. Thanks to Mother Nature’s grand design, no two pieces look exactly the same. The wood is usually treated with a polyurethane finish to protect the look of the wood.

One of the great things about Northern White Cedar is its relative lightness. Even though the finished pieces look and are substantial, they can be easily moved in the room when you’re in the mood to rearrange or redecorate.

Whether you’re looking for a cedar log bed, cedar arched log bed, rustic natural cedar log bed or even bunk beds, you’ll find there is an abundance of choices available to fit any décor in your home. Most cedar log beds are available in styles ranging from the ever popular Appalachian and Adirondack to rustic log and natural finishes.
