THE FINISHED PIECE IN THE PICTURES IS NOT INCLUDED BUT IS MADE FROM THE SAME LOG.
Old Growth, Reclaimed, Rare, Tidewater Red Sinker Cypress hand made in the USA. Vintage, Industrial look. Unique Statement Piece for any Décor.
We have been responsibly recovering and milling logs for over 40 year from Lake Maurepas, Louisiana. The same lake made famous by Shelby Stanga of the History Channels Axe Men, first discovered in 1699 by Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville.
The piece has lots figure. It will turn warm orange-walnut brown when coated. This rare unique wood has tight grain and warm rich color. You wont find another like it.
Sinker cypress is by far MUCH harder to recover than anything on land. You can't pull up a truck or forklift and start loading it up. Our winch boat is the biggest around - specially designed for the big ones! It also helps us get the old ones too that are buried deep in the sediments...like digging back in time.
Our logs grew from an ancient time when forests were THICK and trees grew close together. That is why the grain is so tight. All lovingly handmade here in the USA by local artist.
Listing is for ONE piece. The length is about 30" long. The width is about 4" - 6" wide. The thickness is about 0" - 1" thick at it's thickest. Kiln dried, unfinished and rough sanded on all sides to 120 grit. There are a few worm holes, cracks, checks etc. Lots of character!
Carbon dated to app. 420 - 560 A.D. or about +/- 1570 years ago (when it died). A carbon dated report will be included in the package.
