| Cypress
and Redwood…
Beautiful but Scarce
The beauty and durability of old-growth heartwood such as
redwood, cypress, and Douglas fir are hard to resist for anyone
who is looking to design unique outdoor structures and indoor
wood accents. Old-growth heartwoods from the 1800s and early
1900s have unique characteristics that craftsmen have recognized
for many years. These old-growth redwood, cypress, and Douglas
fir trees run the risk of extinction. It is estimated that
the Douglas fir tree will be extinct in three years and the
redwood trees extinct in five years if they continue to be
the source of heartwoods for custom-designed structures. So,
how does one acquire an inventory of such beautiful and durable
historical wood without destroying the environment’s
existing redwood, cypress, and Douglas fir trees and forests?
