The product is made from Eastern Red Cedar, also known as Juniperus Virginiana.
Yes, this aromatic red cedar shiplap planking can be used to make a keepsake box. The wood is 100% aromatic cedar, which offers a fresh forest fragrance and helps naturally resist mildew, odor, and repel pests such as moths, roaches, and silverfish. These properties are beneficial for protecting valuables in a keepsake box. The actual thickness of the wood is 0.25 inches (1/4 inch). While this thickness is generally not sufficient for structural shelving that would hold significant weight, it can be suitable for constructing a keepsake box, depending on the design and size of the box. You would need to consider appropriate joinery and reinforcement for durability.
Painting this aromatic red cedar shiplap planking is not recommended. The product manual explicitly states, "Do not stain or varnish." Applying finishes like paint can interfere with the natural properties of the wood, including its aromatic qualities, and may lead to issues such as cracking due to the wood's natural movement.
While this aromatic red cedar shiplap planking is suitable for general use in bathrooms, as stated in the product description, it is important to consider the level of humidity from a shower. The product is not recommended for areas with high heat and humidity, such as inside a sauna, as this can cause the wood to dry out excessively, potentially leading to warping, cracking, or shrinking. Additionally, the aromatic oils in cedar can be released more intensely in high humidity, which could become overpowering. It is also explicitly stated that this product should not be used for shower walls. Therefore, if the bathroom has high humidity from a shower and lacks adequate ventilation, it may cause issues with the cedar planking over time.
This product features a shiplap joint type. Shiplap planks are designed to overlap each other, creating a distinct reveal where the boards meet, rather than a V-groove or a simple square edge butt joint.
The natural aroma of aromatic red cedar, which helps repel pests and freshen storage areas, can last for a significant period. However, the intensity of the scent may diminish over time. To refresh the scent, you can lightly sand the surface of the cedar planks, which will expose new aromatic wood fibers.
The actual thickness of the wood is 0.25 inches, which is equivalent to 1/4 inch.
