Guiltless Eco-Salvaged Old Growth Redwood

Our redwood is ecologically sound; having been cut by original loggers of the mid-1800s and then some sunk to the bottom of Big River for over 135 years, this lost treasure was salvaged by hand-wench and lift of the tides, raising the water-logged giants from the river bottom 35 feet below. Our redwood is not from second-growth harvesting.

The appeal of our redwood is that it is first growth, a different animal than 2nd-5th growth redwood. Why? Because subsequent growth, once the old growth is cut, grows from the original roots, and therefore many, many times faster, resulting in lots of small “sucker” trees, a very pulpy wood (wide growth rings, due to the rapid growth, since the roots are already established), not the dense old growth with tight growth rings. So our old-growth, tight-grain redwood appeals to the fine woodworker who, in my father’s words, wants to build something really beautiful “guiltlessly.”

Redwood provides adequate strength for many uses, as well as superior insulation values. Redwoods’ minute cell structure, with thousands of air-filled cavities, enables their thermal insulation values. Redwood is easily machined, easy to saw, nail, and glue, and has superior finish-holding ability. Redwood is known for its easy maintenance and beautiful color. Redwood is often used where high moisture levels are a problem with other types of wood.
