Dark Forest Cypress tone wood is Bald Cypress that has been submerged in a body of water, for in some cases, up to thousands of years. Each log is chosen by meeting a variety of points with the highest standards in mind. Though sinker logs are plentiful around the country, ancient tone wood quality logs are not.

***Attention***
The Series number listed is the radio carbon dated, estimated year of death. This number, typically is a +25/-25 year number, helping to differentiate the logs. Additionally, this data is slowly being compiled to help better understand the effects of long term submersion of Bald Cypress.
