Alberta littered with Barns the backdrops for the stories of long ago when dealing with a piece of our history, we capture it with a Photo Postcard Story before it's lost forever.

However many are rotting, falling down and are being demolished faster than anyone can reclaim them, but the wood we reclaim is from Alberta’s own old growth forests: huge trees that grew slowly, undisturbed for more than a century. Since our wood has been drying in the sun and the wind for anywhere to 60 to 80 years it is extremely stable, tight-grained and clear, the old wood has few knots from branches.

Visiting many old homesteads as farm buildings are carefully taken apart each rusty nail removed as to not split valuable beams, to recover the raw materials from an era of humble traditional construction and design. Many of these buildings were erected in 1900's when Alberta surrounding were settled.

We are honoured to be able to share the Barn stories and the beauty of farm life across Alberta.

Working with reclaimed wood, architectural salvage and other materials that would otherwise be destined for destruction burnt or discarded to a landfill, is one of the most rewarding parts of the process in making our furniture.

The Custom Furniture can entail more than just the old reclaimed wood from a Barn but prospecting we find great window panes, doors and hardware and many antiques farm things.

We work with both types of clients; ones who are creative and have the style or ideas in mind or uninspired clients mind, until they see our pieces, they never envisioned the way old reclaimed woods could be used before.

Taking and creating something New from Old has limitless possibilities.

With the mix of new materials such as; Metal, Glass, and Concrete used to repurpose the old materials our designs become very appealing to people looking for the character and warmth of antique wood that will never every lose its value in our modern everyday home living.

An Old Door can become New Bed Headboards, Old Window Panes become New Wall Art with Sentimental Family Photos, and Old Barn Wood becomes New Dining Tables with Chrome Metal Table Legs.
