But your grandfather's grandfather...? Now we're talking!
The premium quality reclaimed wood that we have been supplying to top building professionals for close to two decades is like no other wood on Earth. Teeming with history, character, and a uniqueness all its own, you'll find there is no building material quite like it, and the story behind the wood says it all.
This is the wood that built America.
After the Civil War, America strived to repair it's deep economic and social wounds to become the world's greatest industrialized nation. In the Northeast, government placed high tariffs on the importation of finished textiles, hoping to stimulate the regional economies and bourgeoning cities busy developing an intricate network to transport goods. These tariffs helped to jump start the growth of the textile mill industry there, and savvy entrepreneurs invested heavily in massive brick and timber factories to house their growing labor force. High quality brick was locally manufactured, but strong and durable timbers in vast quantities that could withstand the heavy loads placed upon them had to be imported from the South, where old-growth stands of Southern Yellow Pine had been growing for hundreds of years.
The insatiable economic drive of these early industrialists struck a heavy blow upon the great virgin forests of the South, and millions of acres of old-growth forests were decimated. In the late 1800's, many of the trees that were harvested for use in Northern factories and mills were already 150-250 years old. Today, these industrial forest house some of the finest old-growth timbers on the planet that range in age from 250-500 years old! The Jarmak Corporation is saving this precious antique wood so that it's rich legacy may live on for many more generations to come.
