Reclaimed Wide Plank
The Reclaimed Process
The story of Antique wood is steeped in history and tradition. Reclaimed timbers that once supported textile mills, barns, distilleries, and rural dwellings are recreated by skilled craftsman. These very same timbers appear in today’s home design to witness the celebrations of our families daily life, adding another chapter to the story.
Bingham Lumber Company works with salvage professionals throughout the United States. Our relationship with these companies allows Bingham Lumber Company to reclaim timbers out of buildings that would otherwise be lost. These recycled timbers are brought directly to our Brookline New Hampshire facility, where they are inspected and catalogued keeping the past history intact.
The reclamation of timbers has proven valuable in today’s market, where the growing emphasis is on utilizing a green product. These venerable timbers have found their home as structural members, resized beams and mantles, flooring, fine furniture, cabinets, and specialty millwork.
Bingham Lumbers’ years as a working sawmill and the Yankee guidance passed down through 3 generations has given us the knowledge of gaining the best yield from the board. Nothing is “left on the ground.” Some of our most beautiful mouldings have come from the byproduct of plank flooring!
