Your Specs Are Our Specialty
We handle only ecologically salvaged
old growth redwood, clear
all heart, all quarter-sawn, all fully air-dried correctly, never used
before.
We custom mill to any specifications you define. We have thousands of
board feet in quarter-sawn
cants, from 30" x 24" and down, of all sawlog lengths.
We have decks of quarter-sawn full dimension
timbers from 12" x
12" down.
All our lumber has been air-dried at least 1 year per 1" thickness,
years of correct stickering, storage and rotation right here on our property.
No splitting or cupping later!
We will work with you, your architect and/or your builder to provide
redwood in actual dimensions of lumber; and siding in verticle, flat
or mixed grain. We cut 1 x 6 T&G
redwood lumber, or dimensions you specify. See tongue
and groove paneling pictures.
Timber buyers in north east, and importers seeking US suppliers: We
are your supply center! Peruse our Web site for California redwood lumber
photos and the unique quality of our salvaged, sunken old growth redwood.!
Our redwood is ecologically sound; having been cut by original loggers
of the mid-1800s and lain at the bottom of Big River over 135 years,
this lost-treasure was salvaged by hand-wench and lift of the tides,
raising the water-logged giants from the river bottom 35 feet below.
Our redwood is not from second-growth harvesting.
The appeal of our redwood is that it is first growth, a different animal
than 2nd-5th growth redwood. Why? Because subsequent growth, once the
old growth is cut, grows from the original roots, and therefore many,
many times faster, resulting in lots of small "sucker" trees,
a very pulpy wood (wide growth rings, due to the rapid growth, since
the roots are already established), not the dense old growth with tight
growth rings. So our old growth, tight grain redwood appeals to the
fine woodworker who, in my father's words, want to build something really
beautiful "guiltlessly."
Unrivaled Shades of Color
Sinker
wood is unique in its colors and grains, from deep rich purples through
rich red and rosewood tints, also blond, burgundy and cinnamon brown,
as shown in the pictures on this site. The result of more than 135 years
in the mineral-rich water of Big River, this redwood is extraordinarily
beautiful, with its tight grain and unusual variegated shades. Paneling
and wainscoting is a popular use of sinker wood because of its unusual
coloring. (The background image in this section is Redwood Burl.)
