Why Reclaimed Wood?
Give your home a statement piece crafted from wood with character, purpose and provenance.
- We salvage beams from old warehouses, barns and industrial sites— every piece tells a story.
- Nail and bolt holes, cracks, checks and weathered texture add depth and authenticity.
- We use select white-pine and fir beams for their strength and stability.
- Choose a rustic look or opt for a cleaner finish; your style, your vision.
Custom and Carved Reclaimed Wood Doors
Crafted from wood salvaged from old warehouses, each of our reclaimed wood doors is an embodiment of history, showcasing the distinctive character of aged wood, complete with nail and bolt holes, unique staining, and the intriguing patterns of cracks and checking. These doors are made from meticulously sourced white pine and fir beams, chosen for their stability and aesthetic appeal.
We understand that working with reclaimed wood is an art form, demanding a careful balance between preserving its rustic charm and ensuring structural integrity. Our process, honed over years, involves a meticulous selection of wood pieces, ensuring they not only add character to your door but are also robust enough to stand the test of time. For those desiring a more rugged or old-world appearance, we offer the option to add additional distress to the wood, tailoring each door to your specific taste and style preferences.
Our Crafting Process
We combine artisanal methods with modern engineering so your door doesn’t just look incredible—it performs.
- Selection & Preparation: Each board is carefully chosen for both aesthetic character and structural integrity.
- Construction: Mortise & tenon joinery, engineered core assemblies and solid wood panels ensure durability.
- Finishing: Our proprietary finishing system accentuates the wood’s texture while protecting it from the elements.
- Customization: Pick your layout (single, double, sidelite/transom), the level of distress, hardware style, and finish color.
