Tidewater Red Cypress Features The only wood species from which we mill our logs, Tidewater Red Cypress, is one of nature's best woods for log home constriction with it's natural resistance to termites and rot. The heartwood our logs are milled from is classified by the US Department of Agriculture as very high in decay resistance, even under conditions favorable to decay. Its natural oil is highly anticeptic and toxic in preventing the development of fungi which causes decay. Tidewater Red Cypress is grown in the deep swamps of the coastal plains of the Southeastern states and along the Gulf of Mexico adjacent to tidewater, and is true species, Taxodium distichum. Due to the high concentration of nature's non-toxic chemical, CYPRESSENE, we are so convinced of the suitability of Tidewater Red Cypress as a log material, that we offer a 60-year Limited Warranty against rot, decay, and termite infestation. Tidewater Red Cypress has a very tight, dense grain pattern which makes it less susceptible to the twisting and warping tendencies common in most other wood species. Tidewater Red Cypress is a very light (almost blond) colored wood, which adds a sense of spaciousness to paneling, ceiling, cabinets, etc., without losing the warm wood feeling that so many people prefer. Famous for its fine texture and grain, its natural color is neither too light nor too dark, hence for natural finishes, it presents a very pleasing appearance. People with respiratory problems have sought out Tidewater Red Cypress as a relief from modern day plywood and manufactured paneling that contain resin glue and formaldehyde.  It imparts neither taste nor odor to people or products coming into contact with it. Cypress is the very best, why settle for anything less?
