What is the best wood for rustic furniture?
The best wood for rustic furniture can be cedarwood. It not only adds rich crimson hues to rustic log furniture, but it also boosts rot resistance and acts as a natural insect repellent. The dense knots in cedar add to the rustic log furniture's natural appearance. This sort of wood is both long-lasting and cost-effective. It can withstand temperature and moisture variations, making it less likely to expand or contract in response to humidity. In humid regions, it holds up nicely.
