Products & Materials

Our reclaimed wood inventory features authentic barn wood siding in various species including Douglas fir, cedar, and pine, each showing unique weathering patterns and original hardware marks. We stock antique heart pine flooring and beams, prized for their tight grain and rich amber coloring that develops over decades of aging.

Live-edge slabs showcase the natural beauty of salvaged logs, perfect for countertops, table tops, and artistic applications. Our old-growth timber beams range from modest residential sizes to massive structural members suitable for commercial projects, all carefully de-nailed and inspected for integrity.

Custom services include planing, resawing, and dimensional cutting to transform raw reclaimed materials into ready-to-install components. We also offer kiln-dried options for applications requiring specific moisture content, while maintaining the authentic character that makes reclaimed wood so desirable.
