Get ready for something special. Here at Atlanta Specialty Woods, our passion is finding wood with a story. We search for timbers that have stood the test of time, holding decades of history within their grain. We are thrilled to announce that a massive new shipment of incredible reclaimed timbers is making its way to our yard and will be arriving in the next couple of weeks.
This isn't just any wood; it's a collection of character, history, and unmatched natural beauty. We’ve managed to secure a truly diverse and impressive selection that we know you’ll be excited to see. Whether you are a builder, designer, or a passionate homeowner with a vision, this incoming inventory has something to make your next project truly one-of-a-kind.
A Shipment Defined by Character and Scale
We know that finding the right piece of wood is everything. It needs to have the right look, the right texture, and the right dimensions. This new collection delivers on all fronts, offering a remarkable variety of sizes and finishes that are often difficult to find.
Impressive Sizes for Grand Designs
Are you planning a project that demands a sense of scale and presence? We have you covered. This shipment includes some truly monumental pieces. We will be unloading two beams that measure over 30 feet long. These are perfect for creating dramatic, load-bearing exposed beams in great rooms, vaulted ceilings, or commercial spaces. Imagine a single, continuous piece of hand-hewn history stretching across your ceiling.
In addition to these giants, we will have a large supply of timbers in the 20-foot and under range. These versatile sizes are ideal for a wide array of applications, from structural elements and trusses to fireplace mantels and custom furniture.
Rich Textures and Finishes
What truly sets reclaimed wood apart is the story etched into its surface. This shipment is packed with character, showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
Hand-Hewn Beams: Many of these timbers are hand-hewn, bearing the distinct, scalloped marks of an artisan's adze. Each chop and cut tells a story of manual labor and meticulous skill, providing a rustic and authentic texture that cannot be replicated.
Circle-Sawn Marks: You will also find a large number of circle-sawn pieces. These timbers feature the large, arcing saw marks left by early industrial milling techniques. This texture adds a subtle layer of industrial history and visual interest, perfect for both rustic and modern-industrial designs.
A Beautiful Mix of Hardwoods
This incoming load is a treasure trove of durable and beautiful American hardwoods. While the selection is mixed, we are particularly excited about the significant quantity of oak. Reclaimed oak is prized for its dense grain, durability, and rich, warm tones that deepen with age. Its strength makes it an excellent choice for structural applications, while its inherent beauty ensures it will be a stunning focal point in any room.
We are also bringing in pieces with substantial dimensions. Some of these timbers are as wide as 16 inches and 8 inches thick, offering a chunky, substantial feel that makes a powerful statement.
Perfect for Beams and Mantels
The character, size, and quality of these timbers make them exceptionally well-suited for creating show-stopping architectural features.
Exposed Beams: Transform any ceiling from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether you prefer the rugged look of a hand-hewn surface or the more refined texture of circle-sawn wood, these timbers will add warmth, character, and architectural integrity to your space.
Fireplace Mantels: A fireplace is the heart of a home, and a reclaimed wood mantel provides the perfect finishing touch. A thick, character-rich timber from this collection will create a stunning and cozy centerpiece for your living room or den.
Don't Miss Out – Plan Your Visit
This is one of the most exciting collections of reclaimed timbers we have brought in, and pieces with this much character and history tend to move quickly. The timbers are being loaded now and will be arriving at Atlanta Specialty Woods within the next two weeks.
