Cypress comes from the Indian meaning of "Eternal
Wood".
We use cypress (Taxodium distichum) for our products
because it has a high resistance to decay and insects, is
easily worked, and takes paints and stains well. Its'
beautiful, fine grain looks great in formal or casual
settings.
When freshly milled, cypress has a blonde color; once a
clear varnish or stain is applied, it glows to a deep
honey color and any color paint or colored stain can be
used as well.
The natural protective oil (cypressene) found in cypress
give it an aromatic smell that never fades. The majority
of the wood we work with is cypress. Our siding, cabinets,
trim, some floors, and all accents are all made out of
solid cypress. |
