Pecky Cypress Timbers Back to list

Old Barn Reclaimed Wood Co. offers Pecky Cypress Timbers cut to order.  Pecky Cypress  is a very unique recovered lumber. The Pecky Log is a porous part of a tree that usually starts in the center. The pecky part of a log is caused by a fungus that only grows while the tree is alive.  This fungus “stereum taxodil” 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 started the process of hallowing the log. This pecky wood 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 unique look.
