Sinker Pine is a recovered virgin growth wood that has been buried in the muddy bottoms of northwest Florida’s rivers for many years, and has been retrieved for use in both historic restoration and new construction. The logs would be marked with a number or symbol to determine ownership and differentiate the lumber, with many still visible on the logs today. Sinker Pine is used as rough lumber, tongue & groove, trim, molding and beams.

The pecky part of a log is caused by a fungus that only grows while the tree is alive, and usually takes 125 years to germinate inside the living tree. Once this process is started, tubular pockets are formed vertically up and down the tree. This fungus starts the process of hallowing the log. Pecky Sinker Cypress is a very rare grade of Sinker Cypress, and is usually used for decorative purposes in hunting and fishing lodges, and high end houses. It is preferred by interior decorators and architects to create a rustic look.
