What do you do Steve? I tell ‘em...“I sell ole wood”
A Sunday afternoon journey takes me far up the mountain, ending on a gravel drive & hiking the last mile to the ridge. I’m looking at an average circa 1890-1920 barn structure; quite-large.

Are you available to answer questions about the application of the reclaimed wood materials for my project?
We are always available to answer questions regarding reclaimed wood products, green building options, as well as help you think about how you can use these products in your own home project. We'll share our expertise to help make your experience with using Historic Flooring products a breeze! When you've finished your project using Historic Flooring's products, you'll find yourself inviting your friends and family over to look at the breathtaking beauty that only antique wood can offer!
Historic Flooring specializes in flooring, wall coverings, trim and accessories produced from reclaimed antique and old growth wood with an emphasis on Heart Pine, Oak and Wormy Chestnut. The wood we use to produce Historic Flooring products was originally harvested anywhere from 100 to 300 years ago, when it was used to build America. We recue most of the wood from old barns, factories, cotton mills and other antique structures, many of which are Circa 1700s 1800s. The remainder is responsibly harvested Old Growth Lumber.
