Cypress is a beautiful, distinctive specie that is both elegant and rugged. Cypress has been used by artisans for centuries. Romans sculpted images of their gods from cypress and, during the Middle Ages, European masters carved great cathedral doors from this time-honored material. Applications include fence posts, shingles, clapboards, shingles, exterior trim, shutters, and window boxes. Many builders and trade professionals throughout the U.S. are using cypress in what had traditionally been cedar, redwood and treated pine applications. It is superbly workable, easily installed, and readily finished. Cypress is very durable due to a natural preservative oil know as "cypressene" which gives the heartwood resistance to insects and decay.
