CYPRESS SHAKES

The Home of All American Exotic Lumber

These photos are of the 18" shingles we produce. While you can barely see the ring count, they are very high and this is old growth cypress. This produces the finest wood shingle that money can buy

If we can't get what you want it does not exist!

Commentary at bottom of page!

Most companies selling old growth, reclaimed, antique lumber are basically selling you materials they have gone out and scrapped out from derelict buildings of some sort or other. We do the same thing, however we also have actual antique lumber that has never seen a saw or nail. Actual old growth cypress, at least 300 years old.

True American Chestnut pre-blight, no worm holes. We are presently out of this product, but expect to get more in the future. We are the only company in the world to have this lumber. We also carry Virgin Wormy Chestnut. Our old lumber is not just beautiful. It has history and character. At the risk of sounding pretentious. "It has bragging rights"

Well I've been out of town for a few weeks, so I have not had a chance to reflect on the wonders of the world. Remarkably things are pretty much the same with the exception of fuel prices. This price drop has a direct correlation with the outrageous explosion of the camel population, world wide. Noting this, there has been an almost immediate increase in camel genocide!

My youngest son and I were talking yesterday, when he told me that Hugh Hefner and Holly Madison had split up. My son seemed to think this was a big deal, until I told him he should have been around when he broke it off with Dolly.

Gasoline Prices

I was sitting here crying about the price of gas, when in became absolutely clear that the price really has nothing to do with anything other than greed. If we change our cars over to natural gas, solar , electrical, nuclear or air. The congress and the providers will simply say the product has become rare or polluting or in the hands of someone else that controls the world. It is a shame that we, "the greatest nation on earth" doesn’t have one commodity that makes the world go round. We are being held up by countries that do not have in door plumbing or the toilet paper to wipe their @%$%$. Is it just me or have our leaders been hitting the glass bitch a little to often?

I really made a grievous error yesterday. Was cleaning out my hog pens and had the big screen TV. on. I normally reserve it for my hogs to watch Arkansas football. Well all hell broke loose when they heard Obama’s racist and sexist remark. As you all know. Arkansas hogs consider themselves to be the prettiest hogs in the world. This has been a horrible trauma for my hogs. First and foremost being called Pigs in a public forum. Then being accused of needing make-up.

Mr. Obama. At best an apology is in order
