Yellow Cedar is a bright timber, ranging in colour from soft yellow to light brown. Sapwood occurs as a very narrow band and is almost white to yellowish-white. Heartwood is a bright clear yellow, darkening upon exposure. The grain is typically very straight with a fine an even texture. The timber is quite light, being only slightly heavier than WR Cedar. It is also highly aromatic, due to the presence of naturally occurring oils.

Yellow Cedar has exceptional natural durability - resistance to weather, insects and contacts with soil - as well as dimensional stability and ease of tooling. Timber stands up to constant wear and load impacts without forming ridges and splitting. Yellow Cedar resists splintering and wears smoothly over time. The timber is easily worked by hand or machine, turns and carves well, and finishes beautifully. It readily accepts standard fittings and fastenings, though resinous glues are recommended for bonding.
