Cedar Log Ski Storage Rack

The Cedar Log Ski Storage Rack is built from 100% Northern White Cedar in the same round log construction as the Contoured Comfort furniture collection — mortise and tenon joints at the structural connections, galvanized exterior hardware throughout, natural cedar log profiles that integrate cleanly into a cabin, mudroom, or lodge entry. It organizes skis, poles, boots, and helmets in one cedar log structure, holding the equipment off the floor and in reach through the full ski season and the storage months between.

Most freestanding ski racks are built from metal or lower-grade wood. Metal holds up but has no aesthetic fit in a cedar or log-built environment. Pine racks look functional when new and show problems within a season or two — the wood swells at joints when wet, weakens with repeated seasonal temperature changes between a cold entry and a heated interior, and rarely stays in service more than a few years. Northern White Cedar handles exactly those conditions: naturally resistant to moisture, dimensionally stable through temperature changes, and structurally sound at the joints across the full life of the piece. This rack is designed for a permanent place in a ski cabin or mudroom, not a seasonal solution.

Ships partially assembled from Edmore, Michigan with all hardware and step-by-step instructions. Left untreated, Northern White Cedar weathers to a natural silver-grey in any environment with humidity variation. Apply a penetrating oil or indoor-rated sealant to maintain the original pale cream color. The cedar log profile and joinery style coordinate naturally with other pieces in the Contoured Comfort collection, including the cedar log end tables and benches that work in the same cabin and mudroom settings.

About Cedar Log Construction

Every piece in the Contoured Comfort collection is built from 100% Northern White Cedar — actual logs, not cedar veneer or finger-jointed lumber with a cedar stain. Logs are shaped and joined using mortise and tenon construction at the structural connection points, with galvanized exterior hardware throughout. This is the same construction method Lakeland Mills has used in Edmore, Michigan since 1923: straightforward, durable, and designed to hold up over years in real-world conditions without requiring chemical treatment or annual maintenance.

A Note on Log Checking

Northern White Cedar releases moisture after it is cut and dried. As the wood adjusts to changes in temperature and humidity, small surface cracks called checks can form along the grain. Log checking is a normal characteristic of genuine cedar log construction and is not a structural defect. Checks are surface-level only and do not affect the strength or durability of the piece.

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.
