White Pine is acquired locally and offers a subtle amber color, lightly grained with dark, distinct knots.  Not as strong as other softwoods, so we compensate by using larger timber sizes.

White Pine is acquired locally through the reclaimation of old barnsand offres a subtle amber color, lightly grained with dark, distinct knots. 

Hemlock offers a light brown tone and is similar to Douglas Fir in grain appearance.

Reclaimed Southern Yellow Pine is another common salvage material, almost as strong as Douglas Fir, but having a yellowish tone and more swirling grain pattern.

Antique Heart Pine is a distinct sub-species of Southern Yellow Pine (also called Longleaf Southern Yellow Pine) which is characterized as having tight, vibrant, multi-colored (yellow to reddish-brown) grain.

Reclaimed Douglas Fir is a common material found old factories and warehouses. It has a darker, warmer hue than its fresh-sawn counterpart.

Reclaimed White Oak is difficult to come by as it is a prized wood for flooring.  When available the timbers tend to laden with mortise pockets from their previous life in agricultural buildings.  As a result, the cost is high and the available lengths tend to be under 12’.

As Found timbers come from a host of sources, such as manufacturing plants, bridges, canal locks and barns, to name a few.  The original patina (weathered grey with milling marks) is left on.  Industrial timber is typically machine milled, so the original saw marks can be found, whereas the agricultural timbers see more of a hand hewn and irregular surface.  The timber joinery is hand scribed during the truss fabrication process.

Natural timbers are a way to introduce round timbers into any design.  Trees are peeled and sanded smooth, then cut by hand as required for joinery.  Great for porch posts.
