“The right log for the right product is fundamental to realizing a quality finished product” coins family
owners Tom and Dick Jones. “Our father taught us that before we started school”.

For over 50 years the Jones family has been cutting Western Red Cedar on the banks of the
Fraser River on Canada’s west coast. This dedication explains Teal Cedar's long standing status
in the Western Red Cedar Export Association -- the exclusive enclave of the finest cedar manufacturers.
The WRCEA endorses all of Teal Cedar's facilities and products.
Controlling its supply from the source affords Teal Cedar a unique advantage. Within the forest
whitewood logs are directed to whitewood mills and cedar log to cedar mills. Next, cedar shingle
logs are selected away from saw logs on the river ahead of the mills. It sounds so simple, but
Teal is the only major forest products company that has this ability. No other company has the
combination of size and versatility to control own their own logging, milling and finishing over
so many species.
The Teal Cedar Lumber Division manufactures fine quality Appearance Timbers and Rough Dimension as well
as Export Grade Clears and Tight Knot finished Patterns and Sidings.
Teal cedar offers mixed rail car loading, trucks, piggy back vans export containers and vessel break
bulk ship any of our products.
