Thread: Cypress Lumber

A fella I work with worked at a sawmill in Franklin while in high school. They pulled the cypress sinkers out of the basin for lumber. They gave him the scraps and he has kept them all these years. His new wife doesn't care for it because it's too "rustic". Offered him cash, he said no. Currently my kitchen cabinets, bath vanity, etc. is made of cypress that I pick up here and there. He cleaned out his rented storage shed and knew I was a woodworker - so he said it's mine. Transferred the cypress from his full truck to mine. Now nicely stacked under the new addition. Here's an example of a piece that's 24" wide. I'll probably make a nice table with this for behind the couch.



Love it when I make good finds.
