Old Growth Quarter-Sawn Paneling and Wainscoting
We have old growth quarter-sawn paneling and/or slabs of any thickness and widths up to 24" wide. Vertical or mixed, your choice. Colors are completely unique to sawlogs salvaged from ocean proximity rivers.
Our rainbow paneling is personally selected boards by Arky, to ensure you receive a dazzling display of color! We have bookmatched sets from both sinker and forest logs.
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!

Guiltless Eco-Salvaged 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.
Although one of the lightest of softwoods, redwood provides adequate strength for many uses, as well as superior insulation values. Redwoods minute cell structure, with thousands of air filled cavities, enables redwoods thermal insulation values. Redwood is easily machined, easy to saw, nail, glue, and has superior finish-holding ability. Redwood is known for its easy maintenance and beautiful color. Redwood is often used where high moisture levels are a problem with other types of wood.
Within our Web site we have a brochure library of Redwood Idea Resources; with numerous ideas including project plans...from "living green" to exterior finishes, and many do-it-yourself projects. Find out what California Redwood can do for you!
Beautiful Redwood Paneling & Flooring
"...none of us have ever seen a load of redwood like this—we paneled all rooms on both floors and wrapped beams that are identical to solid 6" x 8"—in a beautiful earthy color mix without a knot to be seen."

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.)
