Reclaimed Boxcar Lumber
We harvest and sell authentic reclaimed lumber from decommissioned American boxcars. Each plank retains original varnish and markings, offering unique character for flooring, tables, and architectural features. Materials date from the 1960s-1970s and include oak, maple, and mahogany species. Our inventory supports both large-scale projects and DIY enthusiasts seeking historic materials.
Custom Furniture
Our artisans create bespoke furniture using reclaimed boxcar wood, including tables, mantels, and benches. Each piece preserves the wood's original patina while incorporating modern designs. Options range from dining tables with steel bases to rustic barn doors, all crafted in-house to order with attention to historical authenticity.
DIY Materials
We supply raw materials for customer-led projects, including planks, beams, and whiskey barrel staves. Products come with historical context and preparation guidance. Materials work for flooring, wall accents, countertops, and decorative elements, appealing to makers and professional contractors alike seeking distinctive components.
Whiskey Barrel Products
Reclaimed whiskey barrels are repurposed into chairs, planters, and smoking chunks. Barrel wood carries bourbon aging history, offering charred oak flavors for culinary use. Products include intact barrels for decor and pre-cut smoking chunks for grilling, all sourced from American distilleries and railcars that transported them.
Home Decor
Our decor line includes mantels, lighting fixtures, and serving trays made from railway materials. Items blend industrial heritage with farmhouse aesthetics, featuring original wear marks and patina. Decorative options range from wall greenery to cowhide coasters, supporting both residential and commercial interior design projects.
