This is just what i needed, i didn’t realise that there was someone collecting all of this and stockpiling it. It’ll mean that when i am eventually in a financial position to start building the house i’ll have somewhere i can go to get the wood for a low price.

Hmm, it’s quite versatile isn’t it? I’ve never heard of this wood before but it seems to have plenty of uses. I prefer wood that looks authentic to the plastic stuff you can get nowadays for anything in my house. Thanks for posting, I’ll have a closer look later.
I just moved into a new home and my wife had the staircase made in sinker cypress. It looks and feels absolutely fantastic, people keep asking what wood it is and where we got it. It does cost a little more but it is totally worth it.

this is really ample amount of stock for the people, it really gives a nice look.
My new next door neighbour has a coffee table that was made for him out of the cypress wood and it is beautiful. It has some incredible colours in it that you wouldn’t usually see in a regular table, and it’s smooth. I couldn’t stop looking at it. It was very expensive but I would definitely pay the money for it.

One of the best traits of sinker cypress is its external durability and longevity. You can expect this wood to last over 150 years. The reason for this durability is it’s natural preservative oil, known as cypresseine, which gives the wood resistance to rot and insect attack. This virgin timber also has very tight growth rings, making it denser while increasing stability and durability.
