Handcrafted in Edmore, Michigan from 100% Northern White Cedar logs, this seven-foot table provides substantial outdoor dining space with real log presence. The frame is built with mortise and tenon joinery reinforced with hardware — the same construction Lakeland Mills has used since 1923. At seven feet, it accommodates six to eight people and anchors an outdoor dining area with the kind of permanence that other materials cannot replicate.
Northern White Cedar is naturally rot-resistant and insect-resistant, making this table suitable for permanent outdoor installation with no treatment required. It can remain outside through rain, snow, UV exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles without structural degradation. Over time, untreated cedar develops a distinguished silver-grey patina — a sign of weather performance, not wear.
This table pairs naturally with cedar log benches and chairs from the Contoured Comfort collection. All hardware is included. If you prefer to maintain the original warm cedar tone, apply a penetrating oil or outdoor sealant every few years — though no finish is required for the wood's structural performance.
About Cedar Log Construction
Lakeland Mills has been building cedar log furniture in Edmore, Michigan since 1923. Every piece in the Cedar Log Contoured Comfort collection is made from 100% Northern White Cedar — real logs, not veneer, not composites, not Chinese fir (a species commonly sold as cedar online that typically lasts 1 to 3 years outdoors). Northern White Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, insect-resistant, and dimensionally stable, making it one of the few domestic woods that can spend its entire life outside without chemical treatment or annual maintenance. The result is furniture that improves with age rather than deteriorating.
A Note on Log Checking
Because this table is made from real logs, it may develop small surface cracks as the wood acclimates to changes in temperature and humidity. Log checking is completely normal in solid log furniture — not a defect — and does not affect structural integrity or longevity. For more information, see: Log Checking Overview, Cracking the Mystery of Log Checking, and An Academic Look at Log Checking.

FAQ
- Do I need to seal or finish cedar log furniture? Cedar is naturally rot and insect resistant — no finish is required. You can leave it untreated and it will weather gradually to a silver-grey. If you prefer to maintain the original color, apply a penetrating oil or outdoor sealant every few years.
- What is log checking and is it normal? Log checking is the appearance of small surface cracks in the wood as it adjusts to changes in temperature and humidity. It is a natural characteristic of real log furniture, not a defect. It does not affect structural integrity.
- Can I leave cedar log furniture outside year-round? Yes. Northern White Cedar is designed for outdoor exposure. You can leave it out through all four seasons without treatment. If you experience very harsh winters, covering or storing pieces can extend the finish life, but it is not required for the wood itself.
- Does the furniture come assembled? Cedar Log Contoured Comfort furniture ships partially assembled with all hardware and detailed instructions included. Most pieces can be completed in under an hour.
