Cedar splits along the grain fairly completely, so making cedar rail fence is pretty common. I make cedar walking sticks because when dry they are very light for their dimension and longitudinally stronger than most other local coniferous species.

Dry cedar makes a most excellent tinder/kindling for building fire. It burns very fast, ignites very easily, and produces good flame.

Cedar has some antiseptic properties, and the smoke is a great fumigant. Cedar planks added to containers ward off moths and other household bugs.
