Sometimes also known as Red Juniper, this wood is usually a beautiful red and cream/white color. End Grain cuts, like this item, are the most desirable – for the vivid patterns & contrast. This cut is not typical in mass produced items, due to the the wood being very soft – creating a fragile piece that is difficult to work with. The wood is left raw, with no finish, so that the natural oils are exposed to air. This type of cedar oil helps repel insects (spider/moths) and keeps your closet smelling fresh and woodsy.
