Both of these historic woods are the perfect finishing touch to your unique project. Expert milling for custom homes, historic restorations, and commercial spaces is our specialty. Join our happy clients who have selected our custom milling for their projects Our custom mill-shop offers a variety of products in both sinker cypress and reclaimed heart cypress including: doors, shutters, moldings, accent walls, wood windows, wood ceiling and paneling, and cabinet stock.

Reclaimed Antique Heart Cypress is sourced from those same original swamps, but are the cypress timbers that made it to their final destination. The cypress was cut up and installed into new buildings in the late 1800’s. We reclaim this gorgeous cypress and re-mill it to bring new life.

Sinker cypress is whole cypress tree logs that were lost during the Southern logging boom in the late 1800’s. The only way for loggers of the time to get these huge cypress timbers out of the swamps was to float them. It was not uncommon for some of the timber to sink to the bottom and lay lost. Now with current day technology, it is easy for these sinker cypress logs to be retrieved and manufactured into gorgeous products such as doors, wall paneling, shutters and more.
