History of Wood Restoration

In recent history, wood was abundant & cost-effective. Replacing worn-out exterior wood structures was uncomplicated & economical. However, due to diminishing forests, wood has become a precious resource, causing annual increases in deck & fence construction costs. Modern wood, sourced from young stock, lacks the longevity of the past. Redwood & cedar, once naturally resilient due to tannin resin, have lost this trait. Present-day wood from young growth timber possesses fewer natural protective elements. To safeguard our investments from weather-induced wear, preservation is imperative in light of these changes.
