The allure that our recovered cypress and longleaf pine provide is beyond compare.

Krantz Recovered Woods’ products are all environmentally sound, created by recycling a resource lost underwater or used in a building years ago and is now ready to live again in your project. This recovered virgin growth wood is “antique quality” that has not been available in any significant amount for almost a century. The virgin growth lumber we offer displays a fineness of grain, pattern and density that woodworkers will instantly recognizable as “antique” quality. Our woods have the same fine grain and texture as the antiques of 100 years ago because they’re from the same forests. Whether we’re recovering them from an old river or an old building, they are truly “Wood, the way it used to be.”
