The Benefits of Reclaimed Wood
Unquestionably, the best wood comes from old- growth trees, which grew slowly and stood long, developing denser, bigger wood. These trees were huge, yielding the lengths demanded by America's early, pre-steel industrial projects.

Old growth wood and millwork gives you:
  • highest stability for finish carpentry
  • extra-rich wood grain & patina
  • past-life character marks
  • pleasure of unique renewal
  • Reclaimed timbers come on a scale unmet by today's trees and lumber

    "The low moisture content (9% to 12%) of most reclaimed timber makes it ideal for remanufacture into flooring, molding, and other indoor building products."

    from "Wood Framed Building Deconstruction," in March 2002 Forest Products Journal.

    Specializing in:
  • Douglas Fir
  • White Pine
  • Red Pine
  • Hemlock
  • Selected for mixed-grain or vertical grain, as-is patina or re-sawn surface.

    Orphanwood timber reclaimed from salvage projects essentially is millwork of any type waiting to happen. All of our timbers are analyzed for structural integrity, denailed, metal detected and evaluated for maximum application in grade/yield. A resawn Orphanwood timber into 4/4 boards can be surfaced four sides, tongue and grooved or molded into any shape depending on desired look or application.
