 You would be hard pressed to find higher quality cedar strips any where else in North America, not to mention our pricing. At “Totem Strips” you really get more than you pay for. The photos below are accurate indications colour wise of what we mill on a regular basis.

Hard pressed

Our stock is all air- dried ”Old growth” tight vertical grain cedar.  All our Cedar strips are in bundles of  10 or 20 strips.  Each strip in every bundle is the same length and the same colour.  Western Red Cedar varies in colour from light to medium to dark. Simply specify your colour preference at time of order and depending upon available stock we will put a custom package together for you. 

We can provide more of the darker red cedar in our ” Courier & “TalonGrip” strips.  You may also mix some of the ” Courier & TalonGrip” strips with the full length “Totem Strips in an order.

All strips are guaranteed completely free of any sap, knots, and run out. Our strips are “top of the pole” when it comes to grain quality and precision in machining. You will find no feather edges and each cove is generous in depth providing positive interlocking and maximum rotation with no misalignment between bead and cove whatsoever.
