Sinker Wood

Heart Pine reclaimed from the Cape Fear River in North Carolina. These Heart Pine logs have been submerged in the river for over 100 years giving them a unique character and a silver/grey color.
Reclaimed Beech from Burning Springs, West Virginia these submerged timbers yield terrific flooring and paneling wood.

Ipe

This batch of Ipe was reclaimed from the infamous Coney Island Boardwalk in New York from the 1980's. Ipe can be used for exterior applications or unique tropical flooring.

Mushroom Board

For a rustic application where lots of character is desired, the mushroom board is an excellent choice. We just received in a large batch of almost 20,000 square feet so we are ready to make some deals on this stock.

Chestnut

Chestnut including lots of 1x and 2x wide stock.
Perfect for flooring or furniture stock.
Rarely do we come across such a large batch of chestnut from one project and almost never in these widths. This chestnut is in excellent condition but had good character making it highly desirable for truly special projects. With widths up to 15 and 16” wide, there are some terrific planks suitable for tables, countertops or flooring.

Heart Pine

Heart Pine from 1891 Hartford, CT schoolhouse


Great for cutting vertical grain or wide plank flooring and timbers
It is a good time to be specifying heart pine as there is a lot on the market and most companies, including ours are willing to offer material at discounted prices. This particular batch was too good to pass up and had some truly monstrous timbers, some measuring 13” x 19” x 21’ long. Most of the timbers are 7x15x16’ long and cut very well in either direction. This will make some premium flooring in both the 7” and the 15” dimension, as well as decent character grade.
