The wood of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana contains an oil that gives it a highly fragrant ginger aroma. This oil is known for its repellent properties against decay and insects, including termites.
The wood is valued for its light weight, strength, and rot resistance, even after long exposure to salt water. It has been used in boatbuilding, storage battery cell separation, Venetian blinds, and other specialized applications. The wood is also used in making coffins, shrines, and temples in East Asia. Additionally, it has been used for arrow shafts and as an insecticide due to its repellent properties.
