Why is Western Red Cedar so expensive?

Western Red Cedar is a great choice for building projects because it is strong and resists decay and insects. However, its high price tag is due to the trade dispute between Canada and the U.S. that has been going on for decades.

The U.S. has been trying to get Canada to lower the prices of Western Red Cedar, but so far, Canada has refused. As a result, the price of Western Red Cedar has increased significantly in recent years, and is expected to continue to do so.

So if you’re thinking about using Western Red Cedar in a project, be sure to do your research and factor in the current price increase. Otherwise, you may find yourself with a much higher bill than you expected.
