Can this be used for sauna?
Benj, Yes, cedar is commonly used in sauna construction because it handles heat and humidity well and stays comfortable to the touch. These 2 in. x 4 in. boards are typically suitable for framing or bench supports rather than finished seating surfaces. For areas with direct skin contact, many builders prefer thinner, clear cedar boards with a smoother finish.
