MCP MILLS - CYPRESS

SUB SPECIES OF CYPRESS OFFERED

INLAND YELLOW

Often referred to as paint grade Cypress

TIDEWATER RED

Often used for beams and lumber.

Features reddish highlights, especially when planed.

COASTAL RED

Often used for TRIM and Cabinet Work. Features red heart.

The amount and quality of the "RED"in Cypress depends upon length of time grown in "salt"water. The higher the concentration of red, the smaller the tree because salt water slowly kills the tree.

DECKING & OTHER MILLED PRODUCTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE.

PECKY CYPRESS , Light and Heavy is available. Want to learn more... PECKY Cypress develops from "Brown Pocket Fungus".

DOUGLAS FIR & EASTERN RED CEDAR

We offer DOUGLAS FIR beams when the beams MUST be rated for structural integrity.

EASTERN RED CEDAR is available as BEAMS, Decking or other Milled Products.

BALD CYPRESS

ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL DISCUSSION

Bald cypress ( Taxodium distichum) is commonly known as Cypress, Red Cypress, Yellow Cypress, and White Cypress. Commercially, the terms "Tidewater Red", "Coastal Red", and "Inland Yellow"Cypress are frequently used.

About one half of the Cypress comes from the Southern States and one fourth from the South Atlantic States. Few Old Growth Cypress timber stands exist today. Even new growth is not as readily available as it was several decades ago.

The wood is moderately heavy, strong, and hard. The heartwood of old-growth timber is one of our most decay-resistant woods; but second growth timber is only moderately decay resistant.

Cypress has been used principally for building construction, especially where resistance to decay is required. It is used for Sash, Doors, Blinds, and General Millwork, including interior trim, paneling, and flooring.

Today, Cypress has to be carefully selected for its intended use. In general terms; use Tidewater Cypress for Beams, heavy construction, and flooring. Use Coastal Cypress for ornamental work such as cabinets, paneling, doors, windows, and other millwork.

EASTERN RED CEDAR

ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL DISCUSSION

Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) grows though out the eastern half of the United States except along the Gulf coast. The commercially viable Cedar is from the southern Appalachian and Cumberland Mountain regions.

The wood is moderately heavy, low in strength, hard, and high in shock resistance but low in stiffness. It has very small shrinkage and stays in place well. The texture is fine and uniform. Grain is usually straight, except where deflected by knots, which are small but numerous. The heartwood is exceptionally resistant to decay. Of note is that Eastern Red Cedar's specific gravity is 47, whereas Western Red cedar is 33.

It is used for non structural beams, flooring, cabinets, doors, window, fencing, paneling as well as novelties.

Nearly clear cedar lumber under six inches in width is available with lengths to ten feet. Small dimensioned beams (6"x 10") up to 24 feet in length are available. When selected out, exterior siding can be produced in lengths to 50 feet.

Douglas-Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) grows from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Coast and from Mexico to Central British Columbia. The Douglas-Fir production comes from the coastal states of Oregon, and Washington.

A small amount comes from California and the Rock y Mountain States. As of 1970 these areas no longer provide premium grade Douglas-Fir and/or are prohibited from logging Old-Growth.

Secondary Growth is known as Red-Fir. The sapwood can be as much as three inches for trees of commercial size. The Heartwood is Reddish in color. As of this writing there are no engineering specifications.

The wood of Douglas-Fir varies widely in weight and strength. Strength is determined by the Density Rule. This rule uses percentage of late wood and the rate of growth as they affect density. Established grade rules have been in effect for decades, however, these rules have been relaxed as of 2001. The more strident rules are; "Free of Heart", "Selected for Exposure", "Structurally Rated", "The Density Rule", and "Vertical Grain".

For Structural applications Douglas-Fir requires minimal air drying. For Millwork, Kiln Dried lumber is required for its intended use, and geographic area.
