Reclaimed Wood Timber Frames

Our Work

Reclaimed Wood Timber Frames

Sometimes when explaining the difference between using new wood and reclaimed wood, we start by saying: “Twice the money and ten times as beautiful, that is good value.” Although the math may be off, the point’s a good one. Adaptive reuse is one of our favorite ways to timber frame.

Talk with our team. We’re nice!

timber frame front porch on the New River with reclaimed wood wall and beams
A reclaimed wood wall is one of the best front porch ideas we’ve seen. Leaving the old weathered paint on the reclaimed siding is what makes it work. Reclaimed wood post and beams, locust decking, and two rocking chairs complete this inviting porch on the New River.

Reclaimed Wood Stairs
One of the focal points of this home on the New River built almost entirely from reclaimed wood is the reclaimed wood stairs leading to the loft. If you look carefully, you can see that the landing is crafted using a single reclaimed board cut into sections and hand-scribed to its mate.

exposed reclaimed wood beams living room ceiling
The rectangular holes (mortises) visible in some of the beams in this Linville, NC mountain home tell a story: these particular weathered beams were reclaimed from an antique timber frame (the timbers were connected by pegged mortise and tenon joinery)–as opposed to a post and beam structure (bolted or nailed together).
Reclaimed Wood Stairs and Foyer
Almost everyone who visits our office comments favorably on the framed photograph of this stairway and the reclaimed wood beams above the Living Room. Design by T. Douglas Enoch Architect & Associates.
