Enhance your yard or home with a multi-purpose Almeida Wooden Side Table. Made of northern white cedar with a pine table top, the table can be left to weather to a silvery gray or finished with a quality penetrating oil finish. Many or most of the logs will have cracks. These cracks are called checks. Checking occurs when the logs dry and the cells shrink causing the wood to split. This does not weaken the wood. Checking helps give cedar furniture its rustic beauty. Because the wood is naturally resistant to decay and insect damage, you will have a place to set your books and drinks for a long time.
