A good load of industrial salvage timber came into the yard today, and there’s a lot to sort through. We’ve got longleaf pine, and possibly some fir in sizes ranging from 8x14s and 6x14s to massive 15x15 posts and 13x17 timbers that run 19 feet long.

Right now they’re covered in dirt, old spikes, and red paint, so they look a little like porcupines. Once we clean them up, these big pieces will be something special.

If you’re looking for reclaimed wood, there’s a good chance we’ve got something for you in the warehouse. We keep brown barn board, circular-sawn gray hemlock, brushed gray hemlock, vintage gray barn board, threshing floor planks, 3-inch-thick joist stock, reclaimed beams, and hand-hewn timbers on hand.

Every stack has its own color, texture, and history, so there’s plenty to sort through. Come by Southwest Log & Timber Works and see what fits your next project.

This is one of our favorite products in the shop: reclaimed brown board panel made from a mix of hemlock and Eastern White Pine. We’ve milled it, straight-line edged it, and thickness-planed the backside to 13/16 inch, so it’s ready to install.

The combination of grays and browns is hard to beat, especially when the boards are covering a ceiling. It’s 150-year-old barn board with plenty of character left in it.

It’s 105 degrees in Fort Worth, but these boards are worth standing out in the heat for. They’re early-1900s reclaimed planks with a beautiful circular-saw texture, measuring 30 feet long, 2½ inches thick, and 13¼ inches wide. Long material like this is hard to find, and these are headed for window and door bucks in large stone-surrounded openings.

Thanks to Eric for helping us put this one together, and give us a call if you need long boards for a project.

In the 1800s, a good timber framing crew would have used several different axes every day—not just for splitting firewood. In this demonstration, we’re using a Swedish-forged Gränsfors Bruk mortising axe and a camp axe to cut a knee brace pocket mortise and tenon in reclaimed timber.

Striking the poll with a wooden mallet lets us use the axe heads like large chisels for the rough work. It’s a simple way to appreciate the skill of the crews who built these frames by hand.

We’ve got some really nice reclaimed Douglas fir in the shop right now. This is older-growth material that’s been resawn to show off the tight grain, and it’s about as stable as you can get. It would make a great mantel, but there are plenty of other ways to use it. Beautiful wood, plain and simple.

Another job well done in Ennis, Texas. This room is framed with reclaimed industrial salvage Douglas fir, including 10x14 ridge beams and 8x8 rafters cut from 8x12 stock.

The three-piece ridge beam is tied together with steel hangers and square bolts, and the joints came out just right. Really excellent work by the crew, like usual.

This staircase combines reclaimed Douglas fir with a simple black steel and cable railing system. The wood’s warm tones and natural character soften the modern frame and give the space a more lived-in feel.

Old wood, clean lines, and a practical design that works.

Here’s the finished look on those scissor trusses near Fairfield. We used original 1850s hand-hewn hemlock and Eastern White Pine to get that rich color and texture.

Seeing these joints locked in against that clean white ceiling really shows off the craftsmanship.

Out near Fairfield today getting these reclaimed beam scissor trusses set. The guys are doing a hell of a job with the install, and the joints are coming together perfectly.

This is just the installation process, so stay tuned for the finished product video tomorrow to see it all wrapped up.
