Superior Hardwoods of Montana has supplied the most exceptional antique and reclaimed lumber for years, as we maintain a stock that covers more than 11 acres. We're confident we have the exact pieces you need for your project!
What Is Antique Reclaimed Lumber?
Some old buildings like barns, factories, mines, bridges and long ago abandoned buildings stand tall for more than 100 years before falling into disrepair. Eventually, they decay to the point where they're no longer viable as free-standing frameworks, but before this happens their bones and shells can be repurposed into useful, eco-friendly lumber with character and beauty.
Antique lumber comes from these places, and we recycle the sustainable lumber and craft it into molding, paneling, siding and flooring. In our inventory we carry a multitude of sizes and species of lumber, such as:
- Corral Board
- Grainery
- Fir
- Pine
- Heart Pine
- Redwood
- Pickled Fir
- Oak
- Chestnut
- Maple
- Elm
- Poplar
