Reclaimed wood from maine
We source antique timbers, river logs, and barn wood to create a completely authentic look for your barn or home. When we recycle barn wood we ensure that it has not been contaminated, and when we hoist river logs that have been sitting in the mud waiting to be found we work with companies such as Maine Heritage Timber, who harvest sustainably without harming wildlife or the environment.
Joe Tripp—Blacksmithing
We highly recommend Joel Tripp for authentic blacksmithing. Whether it is a traditional barn door, or a wrought iron gate, a project completed by Joel will take you back in time with its level of craftsmanship.
Joel could also be found on our partner page, since he is a southern Maine partner, however we decided to put him here. You can visit his Etsy page here.
