About Us
It started with a simple question: Why throw away perfectly good wood?
Owners Leo Lauchere and Ero Gorski met in 2016 in San Jose, CA. They focussed on reclaiming discarded Redwood in Northern California from lumber mills and water tanks, barns and fencing.
What sets us apart:
- Nearly a decade specializing exclusively in reclaimed Northern California redwood
- FSC® 100% Recycled certified
- U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) member
- Working toward Living Product Challenge certification
- Still a worker-owned business
Every time someone chooses reclaimed wood means that much less trees are cut down and that much less wood is sent to the landfill. The wood you buy from us isn't just beautiful—it's part of a larger mission to honor the Earth and her most treasured organisms, TREES AND PEOPLE!
