We reclaim vintage and historic craftsmanship. Every barn wood company has wood, but not every company is the same. We pride ourselves in having the best quality material made in America. The nearly extinct, native and handcrafted architecture is the definition of American Patriotism. How can we say that? We look for only the best barns in the Midwest, barns that were built by settlers centuries ago , and barns built with native timber that was made to last. The wood we salvage has character. The character that comes with time, character which displays literally hundreds of rings per board or beam. To harvest this wood to it’s pristine condition we take measures to de-nail and clean the wood.
But, that's not all that you get from us. Once we find an amazing antique barns preserved in time, we use the same ingenuity and enthusiasm the settlers used, only we disassemble the barns. Usually, the barn doesn’t serve the same purpose it did 100 to 200 years ago. Technology has changed the need for a threshing floor and hay trolleys. The 21st century farmer has to make a difficult decision to justify paying for the maintenance and taxes on a lack-of-purpose barn. Let a company like Rudy’s repurpose the wood and used a piece of American history that can be shared for many generations.
