Anchor Hardwoods has been providing reclaimed lumber to clients worldwide for many
years. With over 40 different woods in stock from many different parts of the world they have accumulated an extensive customer list. Antique heart pine flooring accounts for approximately 60% of the business. They also carry a full line of marine plywood, teak and mahogany for the marine industry. Reclaimed or antique lumber is used primarily for decoration and home building and is often used for architectural details, cabinetry, furniture, and flooring. Reclaimed lumber is popular for many reasons: the wood's unique appearance, its contribution to “green” building, the history of the wood's origins and the physical characteristics such as strength and durability. Most reclaimed lumber comes from timbers and decking rescued from old barns, factories, and warehouses.
Reclaimed lumber is typically more expensive than new lumber primarily due to expenses associated with dismantling, sorting, and preparing the wood.
Anchor hardwoods has a complete milling shop with a horizontal resaw, 24” helical head planer, 16' jointer, 24” belt sander, straight line rip saw and Rockwell unisaws. They offer custom milling services allowing you to get the product you are looking for custom made to fit your project. Reclaiming vintage lumber is one of the ‘truly green” businesses that can be run successfully in this challenging economic environment.
