Here is a snippet:
In Brookline, New Hampshire, a new generation guides this 62-year-old family business in a sustainable yet tradition-rich direction.
Bingham Lumber was founded as a white pine sawmill in 1946, but this family-owned business is now turning heads for how well it shapes and finishes wood that was first milled many decades, or even centuries, before.
Credit Tom and Rebekka Bingham for the transition. Despite his relative youth, Tom Bingham appreciates wood as only a veteran lumberman can. The family business, Bingham Lumber, started out catering to the post World War II building boom, and at one point churned out over 10 million board feet a year. “We never were a really big production mill,” said Tom. “Our specialty was wide plank paneling, flooring, wainscot, and the historical or traditional pattern work.”
