We travel anywhere on the east coast in search of the best lumber, but often end up in New York City - Northern New Jersey. Along with the many towns in New England, this is where the great wave of immigration brought the building boom at the turn of the 19th-20th century. Industrial buildings, warehouses, and old tenements were built with Heart Pine and Douglas Fir and as gentrification proceeds, these relics of our past are coming down.
All our Heart Pine is dense growth unless otherwise specified. A minimum of 8 growth rings per inch. Our Douglas Fir is also generally old growth, however it was often harvested later than the Heart Pine. We generally ship either directly from the demolition site or from our yard in Queens, New York. For all our lumber we clean off the heavy surface metal before shipping, but we do not do any denailing.

Our available inventory changes constantly,
so please call us. |
We ship our timbers under the name Big Wood and you can go to www.big-wood.net to see pictures and descriptions of currently available timbers. We are not always able to keep the web pages fully up to date, and many times our timbers get snapped up before we can list them, so call or e-mail and we'll let you know what's coming up. If you are looking for something specific, please don't hesitate to contact us and let us know what you need. We will do our best to find it.
