Our Old Growth Redwood is Architecturally Significant Restoration Quality


Our redwood is so beautiful, we don't just sell wood—we sell AWE!
Fine Wood For Everyone
We handle salvaged old growth redwood, clear all heart, no boxed hearts, all quarter-sawn, all fully air-dried correctly, never used before.
Our bookmatched sets from both sinker and forest logs are personally selected boards by Arky, to ensure you receive a dazzling display of color!
We arrange custom milling to any specifications you define. We have thousands of board feet in quarter-sawn cants, from 30" x 24" and down, of all sawlog lengths. We have decks of quarter-sawn full dimension timbers from 12" x 12" down.
All our lumber has been air-dried at least 1 year per 1" thickness, years of correct stickering, storage and rotation right here on our property. No splitting or cupping later!

The Great Adventure Behind Our Redwood
A river runs through it... History from 1849, and the salvage story of a man's journey from doctor to innkeeper in Mendocino County began with dredging old logs out of Big River. Learn more...
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.)
