Experienced Wood

From redwood water tanks to grain elevators, from bomb factories to auto factories, every timber and board in a BT home tells a story.

We reclaim wood from at least 20 different sources yearly, most built from 1910-1950 when wartime steel shortages drove an increase in wooden structures. Reclaimed wood tends to be a well seasoned, high quality building material and allows us to build with large pieces while preserving old growth forests.

We are extremely pleased with our new house. The craftsmanship and all the recycled wood—the redwood doors, the log posts, and all other reclaimed materials—make it truly unique. Each piece of wood has a special character and a story behind it. Jane Klos Bozeman, MT
