The Cruse family knows that marketable
old-growth stands of Cypress are fast vanishing. Our Cypress swamp holds a resource
of great potential wood with extra hardness and durability due to our densely populated
Cypress timber growing slowly in shallow water undisturbed for 150 to 200 years.
Our Cypress lumber is logged and milled on site. The Cypress mill operation manufactures
rough sawn lumber and beams. The Cypress lumber has a rough sawn texture and is cut to your
specifications. Cypress lumber cuts well with both hand and power tools. The Cypress lumber
planes easily and the boards glue, sand, and accept paint and stain very well.
Cypress lumber has a natural beauty with a rich color, grain, and texture. In its
natural state, Cypress lumber has a superior durability resistant to insects, decay, and splitting.
Cypress lumber has a wood preservative oil known as Cyressene which gives the wood a suitable
surface to use for outside building projects. This Cypress lumber can be used for siding,
fences, shutters, window boxes, and landscape designs.
Cypress lumber, when left to the elements weathers beautifully to a charcoal gray.
Cypress lumber can also be used for interior walls, ceilings, cabinets, and beams. You can paint
or stain your interior Cypress. Two coats of polyurethane varnish should be sufficient when finishing the
surface.
We, at Cruse Lumber, know these characteristics make Cypress lumber a prime choice for builders or
homeowners who want a great natural look, or for architects researching old-growth cypress lumber for log cabins
and resort homes.
