CYPRESS LUMBER - 4/4" RWL - PECKY

CYPRESS LUMBER – 4/4"" – PECKY
Rough Cut – Random Widths – Random Lengths

Cypress tends to be a light, yellowish brown. Sapwood is nearly white. Some pieces can have scattered dark pockets and voids where the wood has been attacked by fungi-called pecky cypress. Also, pieces of old growth cypress salvaged from riverbeds-called sinker cypress- tend to have slightly warmer, darker heartwood colors.

Cypress is a durable and attractive wood product ideally suited for exterior projects such as siding, shutters, shingles, trim, fencing and posts.

The machinability of cypress is good, but can, on occasion, present a fuzzy surface when cut. Pre-boring at board edges will help prevent splitting. It nails and screws very well. It glues and sands relatively easy. The straight grain yields good finishing results with stains and varnishes. It also takes paint very well.
