Born Again Heartwoods

Born Again Heartwoods Sinker logs are known by several names such as deadheads, old growth, and virgin growth. Thanks to Mr.

Born Again Heartwoods not only recovers lost sinker cypress and heart pine from the rivers, bottom land swamps, and lakes of South Carolina- we also provide a variety of custom products and furniture design. Based just 20 miles south of Charleston, South Carolina, Born Again Heartwoods is dedicated to giving life to sinker logs once lost to the untamed bottomland swamps and rivers by early South C

arolinians. These sinker logs emerge from their dark, muddy tombs with an unmatched strength and beauty lost with timber today due to modern cultivation. By recovering these sinker logs, Born Again Heartwoods gives birth to a variety of virgin cypress, longleaf heart pine, and other heartwood products which are a GREEN resource. South Carolina was once the home of some of the largest old growth virgin bald cypress trees in the country, just over a hundred years ago. Men like Francis Beidler could see the value in what was considered worthless bottomland swamp. Between the end of the Civil War and World War I, the southeast United States virgin bottom land forest were cleared at an alarming rate. Virgin forest were once the homes of huge cypress, black tupelo, black oaks, longleaf heart pine, shortleaf heart pine, black walnut, willows, sweet gum, green ash, and so much more. Today modern cultivation has left our lands covered with southern yellow pine which grows to saw-log size in under 50 years. Beidler, a small plot of virgin bottomland forest still exists as the Congaree National Park where huge old-growth cypress and virgin longleaf pine can still be found. Sinker old growth virgin cypress and heart pine are far more durable than modern cypress and heart pine. Old growth virgin cypress siding is still found featured in most historical Charleston homes, and heart pine beams continue to support the roofs which line the Charleston Battery after centuries of hurricanes and warfare. Once great plantation halls flank the Ashley River with heart pine flooring and virgin cypress timber- looking as elegant as it first did when initially installed almost three hundred years ago. Virgin heart woods have remained long after they were forgotten. Born Again Heartwoods brings these superior old growth virgin heart woods back to life, and with it, a piece of history otherwise unseen.
