Old-growth maple tends to absorb the silt and organics of the lake bottom when
submerged, resulting in high color variation. Streaks of charcoal differentiate it from
the maple of today, and markings such as the traditional bird’s eye create character
and beauty.

Noted for its superior durability, cypress has been a popular lumber for millwork
dating back to the early settlers. The sapwood is pale yellow-white, and the heartwood
varies in color from light to dark or reddish brown. Localized pockets of decay create
“pecky” cypress, which is coveted for its unique rustic appearance.

Heart pine is sought after for its rich golden-amber color. Heart pine refers to the
heartwood of the old-growth southern yellow pine, a tree that is being recovered from
the vast river systems in the southeastern U.S. after being nearly decimated by logging
drives. Widely used for centuries, heart pine is coveted today for its character, strength, and beauty.
