Antique Reclaimed Lumber

Old Growth Tidewater Pecky Cypress Lumber

Old Growth Tidewater Red Cypress is one of the most durable exterior woods on the market due to the high cypressine content. Pecky cypress is durable and useful where water tightness is unnecessary, and a novel effect is desired. Its interior uses include paneling, trim, cabinetry and furniture. The rough-cut lumber is slow-cured. First outside for 6 months like they did 100 years ago and then moved to our passive solar kiln for 6 additional months.
