Cedar Spanish Wood Veneer Information

It is written that Cedro hembra (Cedrela oderata) is the most commercially important and widely distributed species in the genus Cedrela. Interestingly enough from what I understand its neither Spanish or Cedar though. It seems that its popularity is some what limited to cigar boxes, humidor liners and the occasional architectural application in North America. But,in the American Tropics the aromatic wood is in high demand because it is naturally termite-and-rot resistant. Unfortunately its numbers are continuing to be reduced by exploitation without successful regeneration and therefore it could end up being endangered if we do not pay attention. We do have one quarter figured sequence that is very attractive and it smells good when you work with it. The resin that rises to the surface does clean up when sanded. Try it, you might like it.
