A River Runs Through It
Eileen Hansen—San Francisco Chronicle

A man's journey from doctor to innkeeper in Mendocino County began with dredging sunk timber out of Big River...the recovery of a lost treasure of Northern California!

 
This salvaged sunken redwood has ax-shaved ends, meaning it was cut before the late-1800s. The result of more than 100 years in the mineral-rich water of Big River, this redwood is extraordinarily beautiful, with its tight grain and unusual variegated shades of blond, burgundy and rich cinnamon brown. Redwood repels termites and its ability to resist rot enables it to last for generations—supurb green architect resources for your green dream home!
 

 Own a Piece of California State History

salvaged sunk timberHow old are trees in the redwood forest? The oldest known redwood is more than 2,200 years old, located in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, north of here along Highway 101. Though not as old, our Big River salvaged redwoods have been up to 7 feet in diameter.

We both custom mill and select from air-dried lumber, all from the same eco-salvaged first growth redwood source. All is quarter sawing lumber, air-dried, stickered and stored correctly. Our redwood is professionally certified, specialty high grade lumber grading.

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, etc. See tongue and groove paneling pictures. Redwood Salvage Sales caters to the custom homes specialist and hand-select every stick of lumber we sell—as our piece of your artwork.

Entry to Brewery Gulch Inn  

BREWERY GULCH INN
MENDOCINO, CALIFORNIA

Opened in March, 2001, the AAA 4 Diamond Brewery Gulch Inn has won the American Historic Inns Best Inn in California award (2004) and the iloveinns.com award as one of the ten most romantic inns in the United States (2003).

Boston Globe Sunday Travel (August, 2004):
"A monument to salvaged redwood..." PostcardsForYou.com (August, 2004): "What do you get when you combine a love for old wood, the lure of California's Mendocino Coast, and the magic of romance?...it's the Brewery Gulch Inn."
 

Gourmet Magazine (August, 2002) said, "this stylish new hotel sets a SoHo standard for design..." Wine Enthusiast (March, 2003) said that, partly due to this wood, the inn is "A masterpiece of style and design." Sky Magazine (Delta Airlines) wrote in June, 2003, that ...."wood connoisseur Ciancutti used the wood as lavish trim, a worthy tribute to those ancient trees."

Altogether, forty-seven major publications have written up the Brewery Gulch Inn, most referring to the beauty of this wood. In the 7,500 square foot building, we used only 11,000 board feet, for trim, for paneling, for 8" x 8" posts, for every window and exterior door, and for 1/32" veneer for vanities.

We hand-selected every stick used at Brewery Gulch Inn, just as we will do for your project.

 PRIVATE HOME, LAKE TAHOE, CALIFORNIA

We hand-selected every piece for this remodeled home at Lake Tahoe, California. The "beams" in each of the four large rooms are wrapped with book-matched 1" x 6" and 1" x 8"—again, hand-selected here—and the walls are panelled and trimmed (crown and baseboards) with 1" x 6" and 1" x 8". The mantel pieces and other accessories are 6" x 8" timbers. All four of these large rooms, and the hallways and stairways—the entire house—were completed with lumber from our redwood supply at a total cost, leaving our yard, for less than $30,000
