Pine
Our pine furniture is made of northern white pine harvested from sustainable managed forests located within the Adirondack Park.  White pine is a strong,  yet extremely light and durable wood.  Pine chairs offer a great value due to the abundance of the wood.  Properly sealed, you can expect years of comfort and enjoyment from an inexpensive pine product.

Northern White Cedar
Cedar is a fantastic value that provides a lifetime of enjoyment.  An stain/sealant should be applied to enhance the natural rot resistance of the wood.  Left unstained, cedar will weather to a silvery gray color.  You can choose to use a Clear Coat sealant to allow the natural aging process to occur.  The wood is extremely light and very strong.  Cedar is rather unaffected by humidity, making it a natural choice for outdoor furniture. 

Checking
Cedar is to checking, a process whereby shrinking wood will show splits.  You may notice this in overhead beams, that show splits.  This is not a defect and does not undermine the strength of the wood, but is a natural process.
