Himalayan Cedar (Cedrus deodara) – by Limra Timbers

Fragrant | Carvable | Naturally Resistant

Himalayan Cedar, also known as Deodar wood, is a revered softwood species native to the Himalayan region. Scientifically classified as Cedrus deodara, this timber is prized for its elegant grain, subtle cedar fragrance, and natural durability.

Himalayan Cedar holds a unique place in global wood demand due to its rare blend of subtle aroma, fine grain, and natural resistance, making it especially valued for spiritual architecture, heritage restoration, and high-end interior craftsmanship where both character and performance matter.

At Limra Timbers, we supply responsibly sourced, seasoned Himalayan Cedar wood in custom dimensions to suit your project needs. Whether you’re restoring traditional structures or crafting refined interiors, our Deodar timber delivers consistent quality, dimensional stability, and visual appeal.
