Del Monte Warehouse 48
A little over 90 years ago Calpak, later known as Del Monte, built Warehouse 48 on Buena Vista Avenue in Alameda. The warehouse and nearby Encinal Terminal served as a worldwide shipping hub for the company’s canned Salmon product line. At first, this vast shipping operation was achieved by sail through Calpak’s Star Fleet, large iron-hulled tall ships 250 feet or more in length. The locations of Warehouse 48 and Encinal Terminal made them ideal for shipping, which proved to be invaluable during World War II. During this time, both served as the General Navy Depot assisting in shipping tanks, trucks, ammo, and relief supplies.
Wood reclaimed from this historic site includes 8×12, 6×8, 4×6, 3×6, 2×14, 2×10, and 2×8.

Heavy Black Stain Rustic Shiplap
Here at Crossroads, we have started to process the ten truckloads of Oakland Army Base decking for our Rustic Shiplap siding/paneling inventory. With this sorting comes the inevitable surplus of roof-side Rustic Shiplap with heavy black stain. While some customers prefer the clean look of our standard sort with its rich browns and uniform coloring, there is something that can be said for the unique beauty of nothing but roof-side with heavy black stain. In the right setting, this paneling adds to the rustic appeal of any space, but since it seems to be less desirable to some we have decided to sell it at discount.

Redwood Grape Stakes
For the better part of the last century, grape growers turned to Redwood and Cedar to serve a vital role in the life of their crops. While most Western softwoods tend to crumble if not sealed or treated — especially given Mother Nature’s last years of constant ire — both Cedar and Redwood can stand up to nature’s varied conditions untreated for decades. It is for this reason that grape growers use these resilient softwoods to support their grapevines. These grape stakes stood tall and held aloft their charges for decades through California’s weather and droughts. Battered by rain and wind, seeing temperatures spiking to 120 and dropping below freezing, the Redwood found itself marked and worn by the weather. All this time and environmental pressure gave the wood a truly rustic look. Now retired from their work in agriculture, these old-growth Redwood grape stakes are ready for fun and creative outdoor projects that need Redwood’s resistance to the harsh outdoors.
