WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN WE SAY OUR WOOD IS RECLAIMED????

The wood we use in most of our furniture was originally harvested by our Forefathers over a century ago.  These original growth New England trees yielded woods with unusually rich colors and tight grains quite distinct from those to be found in contemporary wood.

Today we find this wonderful wood in old homes, barns and mills after having aged for generations in the form of beams, planks and floors.  These prized woods are retrieved from these old buildings on the brink of destruction.

The past comes alive in our furniture as we breathe life into the boards presenting the old patina, rich with color, displaying a character unmatched by any artificial means.

For those who are concerned with the preservation of old growth forests, the use of salvaged materials is particularly important.

Here, Steve is cutting old barn beams to length and then re-sawing them into  4" x 4" blanks for table legs.
Steve starts out with an old wooden beam. He turns it into beautiful 4" turnip feet. Four of these turnip feet adorn this coffee table with old drawer fragments and a wonderful top made from antique white pine barn flooring.
