Sinker Redwood (at least the useable stuff) never became waterlogged. Apparently, the sediment at the river bottom acted as sealant and kept the logs preserved over the past century. I have over 50 sets of Sinker (it has a number of different "looks") and each one is very similar to premium quality Redwood. It is still Redwood - just with very unique coloring. Most of the sets I have are VERY lightweight with excellent strength. It is a fantastic tonewood.
