Reclaimed Materials

There’s something special about an old barn—the way it connects us to the land and recalls a simpler time, when life and work revolved around the changing seasons. Reclaiming barn wood lets us preserve the legacy of these venerable structures by bringing a bit of the past forward. Reclaimed materials such as barnwood, hay loft flooring and timbers make great building materials because of their low environmental impact, one-of-a-kind character and structural soundness. Most of our wood is old or second growth, milled decades ago from trees that grew slowly, the way nature intended, resulting in denser wood with tighter growth rings and more natural character. We obtain our wood from reliable sources all over the United States. Species vary depending on region, but all of our wood contains a piece of our nation’s shared history.

The beautiful, rough-hewn beams and boards that served structural purposes in days gone by can be repurposed to create the appearance of load bearing supports in contemporary buildings. In special cases, we will have these elements independently rated and stamped to perform structural functions. We also carry a diverse selection of dimensional stock primarily used for building furnishings.
