Oregon Myrtlewood

     The Myrtlewood Tree is unique to two places in the world - The Holy Land and a small section of the Pacific Northwest. Most of the Oregon Myrtlewood grows from about Coos Bay, Oregon to San Francisco in California along the fog and rain dampened coastal area.

Port Orford Cedar

     This broad-leaf evergreen hardwood is a member of the laurel family. It’s dark green shiny leaves, when crushed, exude a sharp spicy aroma that’s unforgettable. The tree can vary from a low shrub in the higher elevation with poor soil to 70 feet in groves along rich river bottoms. Generally, the trees will be 1 foot to 3 feet in diameter for each 100 years of age, depending on the soil.

Siding

     When cut, the Myrtlewood yields some of the most varied colors and grain patterns to be found in a single species.  Colors range from light straw to chocolate brown, mixed with lemon yellow to deep ruddy red and streaks of nearly black. This vivid color range can even appear in a single section of wood.

Paneling

Decking

     Some of the wood fibers twist and curl to form patterns known as burl, with thousands of tiny eyes; fiddle back which looks like waves undulating in the ocean, all tied together with random swirls of fibers. Myrtle is arguably the most beautiful wood native to the USA; it is a true “native exotic”. This remarkable wood is exceptionally dense and strong,  and finishes wonderfully.

Flooring

Furniture Grade

     Myrtlewood is recognized for its beauty and strength in this area and has been used by craftsmen since the early nineteen hundreds. It’s made into bowls, goblets, golf clubs, gun stocks, musical instruments, flooring, moldings, window & door trim and everything in-between. There is no waste with Myrtlewood - what’s left over makes some of the best long burning firewood you can imagine.
