Abstract:
Wilmington-based Cape Fear Riverwood Corp. recovers centuries-old logs from the bottom of the Cape Fear River. Loggers from the late 1700s to early 1900s floated them downriver. Many that sank along the route are rare old-growth cypress, loblolly pine and longleaf pine between 300 and 700 years old. Once cut, the wood is used in flooring, furniture, and house building. The old growth wood is more desirable because it is stronger, yet softer on the feet when used as flooring, and has more interesting growth patterns. The seven-year-old company was purchased sixteen months ago by a group of investors.

Abstract:
Wilmington-based Cape Fear Riverwood recovers from the bottom of the Cape Fear River centuries-old logs that were floated downriver by loggers from the late 1700s to early 1900s. Many of the logs that sank along the route are rare old-growth cypress and heart pine between three and seven hundred years old. Once cut, the wood is used in flooring, furniture, and house building. The wood is popular because of its hue, incredibly tight grain, age, and rarity. Since the company was found in the 1990s, around 25,000 logs have been reclaimed. The company estimates that around one million logs still lie on the river bottom, so there is no danger of ever running out of material.

To boost his argument that it was a viable residential alternative, he noted the speed in which a log cabin could be constructed (with modern tools such as a chain saw, it could be built in a month, that is). Added were its virtues as an efficient source of insulation and architectural source of rustic charm.
