 Cedar Shavings
   Bring a little of the natural outdoors indoors.  At our mill we use every bit of the cedar tree, wasting nothing.  Cedar shavings are just one of the ways we preserve the tree for various uses.  From the very first cut of the tree the aroma is fresh and clean smelling.  Cedar can be lightly sanded at any time to bring out the full aroma all over again and it lasts for years and years.
   Cedar shavings are extremely useful.  The Indians used to use cedar for everything from building canoes, the framework for the tepee, and so many more useful items because it is durable and lasts so long.  They also used cedar shavings to make teas for rheumatism and internal pain, poultices, toothaches, wound dressings, gargles, and a poultice for carbuncles.
   They are used by the gardener to keep weeds from taking over the garden and for the pathways too.  Cedar shavings can be used around trees, bushes, and for decorative uses. Cedar is a natural insect repellant for organic gardeners.  It controls lice, mites, fleas, mosquito’s, gnats, bedbugs, and poisonous snakes.  You can also put your lily bulbs in cedar shavings to protect them from insects and fungus diseases.  Cedar shavings can be soaked in hot water to bring out the oils, strain it in a cloth, and put into a sprayer for use in spraying your yard.
   Whether you have the smallest of pets or the largest of farm animals, cedar shavings can be used for bedding, in kennels, barns, and poultry houses.  It not only deters insects including fleas, but helps in the ease of keeping the area clean.
   Cedar shavings can also be used as an insulator.  It can be used in dog houses during the winter for warmth and during the summer to keep it cooler.  If you have an area under a house or outbuilding, cedar shavings come in very handy.  Shavings can be stuffed into concrete blocks as an insulator and keep insects at bay.
   Crafters use cedar shavings for aromatic sachets, potpouri, incense, fragrant decorations, and stuffing various items.  Cedar shavings can also be added to Knox gelatin in muffin papers/tins for fragrant room deodorizers.  Cedar shavings mixed with household glue can be shaped into very aromatic household deodorizers.
   Just as cedar is great for cedar closet linings, cedar hangars, and cedar shoe racks, sachets can be made from shavings to place in your shoes.  Tennis shoes often harbor smells you certainly don’t want in the closet.
