Cypress - Swamp Lumber @ Rare Woods USA

Swamp Cypress is so named for its association with swamp land, with is roots often protruding above the land or submerged into the swamp water where it grows. This light, pale yellow-brown wood known for its durability, toughness and character is also the State Tree of Louisiana. It is an important wood in the indigenous Southeast region of the US, as its versatility and workability lend it to a variety of diverse applications. It is typically straight-grained, although knots are commonly present. Other than the knots, the wood poses no difficult challenges for working, glue and finishing.

This species is not listed in the CITES Appendices, and is reported by the IUCN as being “a species of least concern.”

Why We Love This Wood

Its commonly-seen protruding roots (humorously known as "knees") are sometimes harvested for large carvings. A variety known as "Pecky Cypress" --which is Swamp Cypress which has been pecked on for many years by birds, is quite popular throughout the south-eastern coastal belt for use as a decorative interior wood. Cypress is a very tough, yet moderately priced utility wood.
