all heart salvaged old growth redwood. This salvaged sunken redwood
has ax-shaved ends, meaning it was cut before the late-1800s.

Beautiful Redwood Paneling & Flooring
"...none of us have ever seen a load of redwood like this—we paneled all rooms on both floors and wrapped beams that are identical to solid 6" x 8"—in a beautiful earthy color mix without a knot to be seen."

Unrivaled Shades of Color
Sinker wood is unique in its colors and grains, from deep rich purples through rich red and rosewood tints, also blond, burgundy and cinnamon brown, as shown in the pictures on this site. The result of more than 135 years in the mineral-rich water of Big River, this redwood is extraordinarily beautiful, with its tight grain and unusual variegated shades. Paneling and wainscoting is a popular use of sinker wood because of its unusual coloring. (The background image in this section is Redwood Burl.)
