Weathered Hardwoods are unmistakably beautiful, and with a rich working history, have many stories to tell. |
|
|
Reclaimed lumber comes from very old timber, it is all from first-growth cutting. Wood from old growth forests is as much as 50% more dense than new lumber. The quality that you find in old lumber is of a quality you can't find in the virgin lumber being produced today. |

|
Old factory buildings provide large quantities of consistent materials. |
|
|
Old mills and factory buildings resonate with the feel of an era long gone. |

Early pioneers constructed homes crafted by hand with timbers. Using little more than a few hand tools and a broad ax, trees were felled to provide protection from the elements. These structures won't be around forever, but through re-use their stories will endure. |

|
Large old barns provide a valuable source of reclaimed wood and antique stone. |

|
Hardwood beams connected with mortise and tenon joinery represent true craftsmanship, especially considering the technology available when they were created. |

Our Old Growth Urban Timber Recycle Program is truly unique. While all traditional saw mills turn away the opportunity to save logs cut from neighborhoods and other urban areas , we encourage them. |
