We are pleased to offer you re-claimed timber from the underwaters of the Panama Canal, over the last few months underwater logging has been in the works in the panama region, using submersible hydraulic chainsaws, that run on vegetable oil, to harvest the perfectly preserved hardwoods,

divers have been removing standing rooted trees below the water surface since the construction of the canal in the early 1900s.  Our four new woods include;  Zapatero   (Hieronima alchorneoides)  Lapacho   (Tabebuia Guayacan)  Espave     (Anacardium excelsum)   (Also know as White Mahogany)  Cedro Espino   (Bombacopsis quinata) Currently we have tonewood and turning stock/lumber in these species
