Reclaimed wood is lumber salvaged from structures that have already served a previous purpose, including barns, fencing, agricultural buildings, industrial facilities, and historic structures. These materials are carefully processed and milled for a second life in architectural projects.
Longwood sources reclaimed materials primarily throughout Kentucky, while continually evaluating opportunities that meet our standards for quality, character, and architectural application.
Reclaimed wood offers character, history, and individuality that cannot be replicated by newly harvested lumber. Every board carries unique grain patterns, patina, weathering, and natural variation.
Longwood’s standard process includes de-nailing, metal detection, culling, kiln drying, and milling. While every effort is made to remove metal, reclaimed wood is a natural product and variation should be expected.
Reclaimed wood repurposes existing materials and reduces the need for newly harvested lumber, giving historic materials a second life.
