Reclaimed Wood for Flooring
Our vast inventory of reclaimed wood is harvested from iconic buildings and historical structures. Reclaimed materials offer gritty character that can only be created by the test time. Our reclaimed wood for flooring is sold either "as is" or prepared to your specifications.MAPLE
We deconstructed two massive factories in Chicago where we found maple flooring from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Most flooring these days is 5/8’ thick, but this reclaimed maple is 1 ¼” x 2 ½”. Our virgin maple was harvested in the late 1800s, adding to the timber’s already rich history. The maple is cured, hardened and beautiful, something you won’t find on the shelves of department stores. Most of the pieces are curly maple, birds eye maple or pecky maple. It can be reused as flooring or wall cladding thin wood, available in different finishes. Plus, this reclaimed maple is super durable and will last another 200 years.
BRAZILIAN MAHOGANY
Old growth, exotic Brazilian Mahogany has unmatched durability, high density and extreme beauty. Acquiring this wood was one of our craziest endeavors.

SOUTHERN YELLOW HEART PINE
Most people think that pine is too soft for flooring. However, our Southern Yellow Heart Pine has a ring pattern so incredibly dense, with 10 rings per inch. The wood is old, seasoned, cured and stronger than typical pine, making it perfect for flooring.
Our Southern Yellow Heart Pine was reclaimed from the framing of commercial buildings built prior to 1920. Back then, the pine was used as structural support beams. Oddly enough, massive amounts of timber from the Southeastern U.S. was used in these buildings. A product of their natural environment, the pine trees grew close to one another. As a result, the trees competed for natural resources, and so grew quite slowly. Thus, the pine’s dense, durable nature. We have beams in inventory with 200 rings on a 14” square center cut beam. So, you won’t find those specs anywhere else.
We reclaimed our largest Southern Pine beams from two Chicago-based buildings. The first was the former St. James Catholic Church at 29th and Wabash. Next, we reclaimed wood from the former Pullman Couch Company complex where a third of the structures were destroyed by the “Chicago Ice Fire” of 2013. From the latter, we reclaimed a series of burnt beams. Due to the unique nature of the fire, the look and feel of the beams is unlike anything in the rest of our inventory.
