Treasured Timbers Pen
Treasured Timbers pen - own a hand crafted piece of history!
The exploitation of the primeval forest began soon after the first settlement was established at the place where the river Saint John empties into the Bay of Fundy, which is now the city of Saint John. For more than 200 years the Saint John River and its many tributaries were the only way to move the logs to the mills and the ships awaiting their precious cargoes, destined for Europe. Many of these virgin timbers were lost on their way or sank at the mill ponds. Settling to the bottom of the dark peat colored waters, void of sunlight and very little oxygen they soon became true Treasured Timbers. Many lost for more than three hundred years, the quality is unlike anything available today!
