Q: What is sinker cypress?
How is it different from standard cypress lumber?

A: Sinker cypress, as the name implies, is cypress that sunk 100+ years ago while being harvested and is just now being raised and manufactured into lumber. A large part of it will be heart and very resistant to rot and decay. Regular cypress lumber sawn today is faster growing and has less heart due to smaller timber.

Q: Why choose Western Red Cedar?

A: For generations, it has been the preferred choice of builders for its beauty, durability and ease of handling during construction. Native to the Pacific Northwest, Western Red Cedar trees flourish in nature's harshest conditions. They are naturally resistant to pest infestation and decay and are one of nature’s best insulators.
