This is the real deal folks. All of our old growth logs fell hundreds and thousands of years ago. These aren't axe cut...they are ANCIENT. The grain is super tight. And it's dense too. Not to be confused with regular lowland cypress. This is Red Tidewater Cypress. The freshwater has given each log it's own special color. They have been air dried and kiln dried. Even more amazing up close.
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.
Rustic, Vintage, Industrial look. Unique statement piece for any décor.
We are new to selling on ebay but 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 natural orange color...NO STAIN HAS BEEN USED. Coated in poly resin finish. It is ancient since almost every log we have pulled is several hundred years old. This rare unique wood pattern has some burl and a beautiful iridescence glow to it. You wont find another like it. All lovingly handmade here in the USA by local artist.
Size is approximately 58 1/2" long X 11" wide X 5" thick. Clean, kiln dried, unfinished, sanded to 120 grit. Needs to be professionaly installed.
