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! |

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
