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 tree 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, durable selection of historical wood without destroying the environment’s existing redwood, cypress, and Douglas fir trees
and forests?

 

Reclaimed Wood Offers a Selection of Old-Growth Cypress and Redwood
Those involved in the lumber industry and custom design business have discovered that there are many existing structures built from old-growth heartwoods from the 1800s and early 1900s. Reclaiming wood from these structures serves as a means to provide an inventory to build high-quality structures with an intriguing history. Existing structures include pickle tanks, beer barrels, barns, and buildings, just to name a few.
