Alaskan Yellow Cedar (Slabs & Tabletops) has a light yellowish heartwood; whitish/pale yellow Sapwood which is not distinct from the heartwood. Color tends to darken with age upon exposure to light, (though when left exposed outdoors it weathers to a uniform gray). AYC wood usually straight grain, though sometimes wavy, with a uniform medium to fine texture; Easy to work with both hand and machine tools, though pieces with wavy grain may produce tearout during planing. Holds paint well. Stains, glues, and finishes well.
