Replacing the metal components stainless steel pulley with stainless steel was an easy decision, but locating stainless steel pulley high quality wood for replacing the damaged wood stainless steel pulley has not been an easy task. The two-story columns were manufactured circa 1906 using 2,000- to 3,000-year-old timbers harvested from virgin cypress forests. To locate similar high-quality, stainless steel pulley high-density cypress woods, Handler needed to acquire "river-recovered" cypress cut over 150 years ago.

Handler explained his stainless steel pulley statement that "while 'cypress' may be spelled the same, the quality is greatly different" in virgin forests timber and replacement forests logs. In stainless steel pulley primordial forests with thick canopies, trees stainless steel pulley competed for sunlight, forcing a slower growth and resulting in denser tree trunks. Where the 3,000-year-old cypress stainless steel pulley reveals 100 growth rings to an inch, the reforested trees show ten growth rings to an inch. The denser woods are more desirable because they are naturally more resistant to decay. During stainless steel pulley the 1800's Westward expansion, logs from the first forests were floated down rivers to the mills and the denser and heavier woods sank during stainless steel pulley the float. Decades later, the water-preserved woods are sought for their resistance to decomposition.

Handler located river-recovered stainless steel pulley cypress in Florida for the McFaddin-Ward House project. Using a dendrochronology wood-boring test to measure the selected cypress's age and density, the timber's timeline established the log was milled in 1853 and its age to be about 3,500 years old. stainless steel pulley Handler said he might use mahogany from South America in some column sections. Concrete is being considered for sturdier column bases.
