Cypress is an excellent Wood for Exterior projects as it is naturally resistant to the elements. It will soon turn silver in color and as it ages it becomes darker. Cypress can be stained to achieve any color for siding and the knots don't bleed sap like white pine does. Cypress is still used today for siding, horse barns, interior wall paneling and many other products. Tidewater Lumber also sells Cypress timbers and beams for log cabins and "post and beam" buildings. Please see the Cypress and Timbers listings for full details.
