Every “Made in the USA” cedar shoe tree Woodlore makes originates from sustainably grown Eastern red cedar trees - cut from the Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks. All cedar wood is not the same! Our cedar is known to be the finest in the world because it is rich with red heartwood. From the heartwood comes ferocious moisture absorption capability and fragrance oils. These qualities help keep your shoes dry, deodorized and looking great for years to come. Our products will contain a minimum of 80% red heartwood. Fine sanding gives every surface a silken finish. And we use only the heaviest gauge brass-plated hardware for extra durability. Such uncompromising standards bring out the lasting beauty of our natural cedar products. While we take great pride in our products, service is equally important. And we'll do everything we can to make sure you're completely satisfied. That's a promise.
