I knew a guy who lived near a pallet factory in Florida and he paneled his family room with cypress cut offs the factory gave him
(of course, that was in the late 70s)

Reply to spring issueThere is a place in Wimington, NC called Anchor Hardwoods that has been selling "sinker cypress" for many years. I have not purchased or used any. This is a picture from their projects page.

Reply to spring issueWe have an extension on the side of the garage that the prior owners used for the pool heater and oil tank. (the pool and all that stuff is gone) That part had vinyl siding on it as does the back of the house. Any way , it looked weird from the street between the Cypress and vinyl So I used Cedar instead,...01-12-2019, 09:29 AM

Reply to spring issueI grew up about 5 miles from the Mississippi River and heard of "sinker's" but it seems like "local" loggers called them something else back in the 50's and 60s. And the sinkers were more than just cypress. My dad got some blue cottonwood that had been sunk for a hundred years or...01-11-2019, 05:50 PM -
Reply to spring issueI'm curious to see if the experienced cabinet makers at our local lumberyard/flooring/cabinetry shop are familiar with sinker cypress. I've always liked the grain of cypress, but it does mess up sandpaper something awful.
I didn't know that it was used for siding, but it makes sense because...01-11-2019, 04:47 PM -
Reply to spring issueThe front of my house is Cypress vertical plank and batten. It broke my heart to seal it with a light stain but the weather was really beating it up.
I had to replace a few planks and @$75 a plank 10' x 10" by 3/4, I don't want to replace any more .The original was a full 1" thick....01-11-2019, 04:25 PM -
Reply to spring issueI've got the fever, though. Expect to get wood Tuesday from Ocooh to start making Steve Good's Nativity boxes for Christmas 2019. Need to do at least seven, so I've got to get started as soon as the weather breaks.
(Six layers to each box, plus backer and two cuts for each lid. I know I can...01-11-2019, 03:48 PM -
Reply to spring issueThanks, Jim and Melanie, for the kind words. Melanie, with your abilities, if you ever wanted to make a bowl, I know it would be quite impressive.
It was fun getting the cypress assignment. The color of the wood, when seen in person, is just lovely, with a real richness and depth....01-11-2019, 01:33 PM
