Sinker Cypress
Prior to the onset of modern industry and logistics, loggers practiced log driving, where floating logs down-river to a temporary sawmill was the first step in the process of creating lumber. The term "lumberjack" comes from this process. Occasionally logs would sink and become trapped in the silt at the bottom of the river. If enough silt was laid down before rot and erosion set in, the log would be preserved. Today these century-old remnants of pre-industrial America are recovered from the bottom of river beds, and they are some of the most sought-after reclaimed lumber on the market.
