Sinker cypress, also known as Dead Head cypress, Old Growth cypress, River Recovered cypress, Heart cypress, Reclaimed cypress, Antique cypress, or Deadhead cypress, holds a rich history as logs submerged in rivers during the industrial timber harvest from 1880-1920. These logs, axe-fallen from virgin forests, range from 150 to 1500 years old at the time of harvest.
Transported down rivers to nearby sawmills, many logs became waterlogged, sinking into riverbeds during log jams. The minerals in the water infused the wood with distinct colors, making Sinker cypress prized for its durability, historical significance, eco-friendly attributes, and captivating color variations.
