8/4 Spanish Cedar is a lightweight tropical hardwood prized for its warm reddish-brown color, aromatic character, stability, and excellent workability. Although its name suggests otherwise, Spanish Cedar is not a true cedar and is more closely related to mahogany. The additional thickness of 8/4 stock makes it a versatile option for substantial furniture components, thicker boxes and humidors, turning and carving projects, and other specialty applications requiring stable, workable hardwood.
