Shannon's Lumber Industry Update · 95 – Really Really Old Wood

Cypress for Windows, and Deep Fried Wood

Today we talk about Cypress for window construction and other alternatives like modified wood or stave core construction. Then we talk about really old wood and how it holds up after 1000 years like the oldest door in the UK at Westminster Abbey. Then how about deep frying your wood to preserve it?
