The wood od incense-cedar is lightweight, soft straight grained, and uniform in texture. It has a spicy aromatic odor and outstanding durability, dimensional stability, and insulative qualities. It is used extensively in residential and industrial structures for exterior siding, sheathing, and subflooring. The wood is ideal for interior siding and closet lining. It is widely used for pencils. The recent use of mill residue for pulp, and poor quality material for backyard fencing, auger well for increased utilization of this species.
