Reclaimed Lumber

Reclaimed lumber comes from old barns, old houses, old textile mills, tobacco warehouses, water and wine tanks, factories, smoke houses, boxcars, wine barrels, old log cabins and more. There are many advantages in utilizing recycled lumber and reclaimed wood for your building needs. Patina of the aged old growth lumber is all about color. Deep rich color that can only be obtained by age and oxidation over time is highly desired for its beauty.
Old antique cherry, walnut, and oak furniture are good examples of deep rich patina. The color is deep and glowing. Reclaimed lumber in many cases comes from old growth timber. Again, this makes it very desirable for many reasons. Old growth lumber and timber tends to have characteristics of high density and high growth ring count. The end result is better structural value for builders, carpenters, and furniture makers.

Reuse of the reclaimed lumber is smart and popular, especially with those whom are concerned with sustaining and protecting our old growth forests. Vintage lumber from structures can often have a historical value as well. Historical Restoration and finding the right materials is very important for this proccess. Historical lumber helps to preserve our historical buildings and our heritage. Seasoned old growth reclaimed lumber is perfect for historical projects in need of flooring, wall cladding, ceiling decking, exterior siding, and timbers for timberframe construction. We can help with small projects or large projects in need of historical lumber.

Antique lumber and air dried lumber are also highly desirable for building projects. Sometimes you don't get the nail holes or other characteristics of reclaimed lumber, but in many cases you do obtain the patina and old growth. We especially search for and obtain this type of vintage lumber for cabinet makers, furniture builders, homebuilders, and some specific hardwood flooring jobs using the Barnwood Bricks ®. Our all time favorite are the 4" x 8" mixed species Barnwood Bricks ®.
