Vintage Timberworks supplies recycled seasoned old growth lumber, beams, timbers, and antique flooring reclaimed from the dismantling of  an tiquated structures in which it has been "warehoused" for up to 200 years.  Our recycled lumber products include western slope old growth Douglas Fir, Pine, Redwood and Cedar, antique eastern hardwood timbers and barn board planks and reclaimed flooring from Australia.

Recycled timber is from original stands of old growth forest and, as a result has unparalleled architectural quality, character, and is perfect for applications in timber frames, architectural trusses, open beam ceilings, exposed headers, trellis work, mantles, flooring, millwork, furniture, and moldings. Old lumber is prized for its dry, stable and dense nature.  Most old growth timber will grade select structural dense.

Old Growth Forest Harvest Circa 1900

Antique wood is truly unrivaled in terms of its beauty, density and clarity.  Additionally, old lumber is valuable for its historical significance.  Reclaimed lumber is generally supplied from buildings built around the turn of the century and, as a consequence, is a reflection on the history of certain regions and industries. Recycled wood is very popular with those of us concerned with the environmental issues surrounding logging of the remaining stands of old growth forest. Our lumber products come from old growth forests harvested decades ago and reduce the need to harvest current old growth stands.

Salvaged lumber generally contains varying degrees of "character marks" which result from previous joinery. These include bolt holes, nail holes, mortises, and notches and the seasoning checks which result from being air dried for many years. Recycled lumber is available "as is" or can be re-manufactured with a sawn, hand hewn, ground, or surfaced appearance to your specifications, including products milled free of character marks. We work closely with designers, builders and owners to tailor the order to the application.
