White Cedar Siding for Architects
We’ve custom milled white cedar siding since 1971 for projects in New England, New York City, Virginia, Idaho and more. White cedar lumber is prized for versatility and durability. From warm tones to its classic silver patina, there’s nothing like it. Our work’s in architectural media and a range of luxury homes and institutions.
Atlantic White Cedar & Northern White Cedar
Also known as Eastern Cedar and Arborvitae, white cedar wood is native to New England and valued across the US. Our collaborations with designers seeking custom milled profiles prove that White Cedar Siding is timeless. We’re proud to have helped so many designers develop unique projects.

White Cedar Lumber Company & Mission
WCLC was started by our father, the architect Wifred Armster as Wood, Steel and Glas (Dutch spelling) to ensure a supply and precise milling of his favorite wood, Atlantic White Cedar. We’re still family run, hands-on and well-known for the products and service he originated. (Our Dutch ancestor was in the wood treatment business back in 1600’s NYC.)
We built on his beliefs with a wider range of new, rare, reclaimed, and renewed woods that are Old Growth, Tropical, European, and Sustainable. Milled for exterior and interior by experienced millwrights, we offer huge beams, boardwalk, barn board, live edge slabs, veneer, 45′ pier logs, custom wood counter tops and more.
Mission- To help people utilize the beauty and integrity of White Cedar and other sustainable woods.
