Why Sinker Cypress?

In Louisiana and the Southeastern United States, cypress logs were axe-cut in the 1800’s from virgin cypress forests. They were then transported to various destinations across the country. On their journey many were lost and submerged underwater, where they acquired vibrant colors from the surrounding environment. Hence the name “Sinker Cypress.” The ultimate color of each log varies depending on pH, silt content, water movement, salinity, length of time under water, and type of environment the tree originated. Their tight grain from slow growth is unlike any other lumber in today’s growing forests. 

What Does Live Edge Mean?

The primary distinction between live edge and non-live edge is that live edge wood retains its natural edges, whereas non-live edge wood has been trimmed or modified. The choice between live edge and non-live edge ultimately depends on individual taste.

Our Process

Once pulled from the bayous, milled, and kiln-dried locally to 10-12% moisture content, each slab is meticulously selected to be transformed into a functional work of art. By planing, sanding, and cutting the wood, our team of craftsmen are able to create exquisite tables, rich with a piece of Louisiana history.

Natural Variation

• Natural Wood Grain Color Variation- No item has the same grain color, finish, or wood knots due to natural factors. These differences mean that we may not accept a claim against natural markings.

• Live Edge- Natural edge of the wood that's been incorporated into the design.

Notes

This is natural wood and finished with a clear, matte coating. It provides a protective layer that makes each knife block resistant and easy to clean. Each piece is uniquely created and one of a kind. Wood retains moisture in pockets, which can cause the wood to crack and split. Unlike other companies, Southern Wood uses a state-of-the-art vacuum kiln to dry wood and prevent this from happening. Every slab is kiln dried to 8-10% moisture content in our iDry vacuum kiln. As raw wood is used in its natural form, the item shown in the picture will slightly vary from the one purchased. Each knife block has its own distinct color variations and characteristics. Woods of the same species may vary in color, grain pattern, and texture. Natural wood may display small splits, knots, or other organic features unique to each piece. This is real wood, and it will react to water, humidity, and heat as well. As such, do not put in dishwasher. Just clean with a rag.
