Antique Wood
Antique wood is often rescued from demolition sites, old barns and buildings. Often referred to as old growth, most of this antique wood was sawn well over 100 years ago. Antique wood has tight growth rings and yeilds a patina that can not be matched by todays new growth lumber.
Antique wood can be used either in its original condition, or it can be sawn and milled into lumber ready for construction. Some of the more popular antique woods that are available include heart pine, douglas fir, white oak, maple, red oak, hemlock, white pine, chestnut and elm.
Antique wood can be used to achieve many looks, from the rustic feel of old barn boards to refined finishes for formal old century houses. Antique woods are perfect for restoring an old home or an old building. They can produce an accurate historic feeling, and you have the knowledge that you are doing something meaningful to protect the world’s remaining old-growth forests.
Antique lumber, old wood beams and timbers are not only prized for their beauty, but also for their dry, stable and dense texture. Most antique wood will cost as much or considerably more than new lumber.
"Reusing antique wood is responsible,
and the quality is superior."
