Historic Lumber is a family owned business with over 40 years experience in reclaiming early Canadian homes and barns - saving them from being lost forever

Since we recover our material by hand, we know the history of our lumber. Our wood tells the story of its origins and bears the marks of years of use by generations of early Canadians with a unique character and patina not found in newer woods. At Historic Lumber we offer everything you would find in an original Ontario farmstead including many varieties of wood products from barn board and floori

ng to huge beams and joists for framing. The products are available "as is" or finished by our expert craftsmen. We hope you enjoy browsing our site and look forward to your visit at our showroom, salvage yard or field of beams

30’ hand hewn pine circa 1850 barn beam being prepped for a ridge beam install and finish. We hollow it out to fit over existing LVL. One of the many ways we can make salvaged lumber work for your home.

This was a job we recently completed for one of our long-time repeat customers. We finished and installed ceiling beams in multiple rooms of their house in varying sizes. Check out the complex joinery in our work. All beams are pre-1900 hand-hewn pine.

This was an 1880s vintage tongue and groove pine flooring job we did about 10 years ago, looking forward to working with this client again to finish the remainder of the floors.

14/04/2022

We love to provide a great product and complete the installation process, but sometimes you do too! This client purchased a raw mantle from us and finished and installed it on their own. We think they did a great job. They were really happy with the product and the final outcome.

This room is giving us all the feels. Mantle by Historic Lumber.

Just finished a feature wall, what a great backdrop for your TV. Loved working with the client to add in the custom shelves.

10/02/2022

Original 1840's vintage log cabin in need of a new second floor. We had the material to provide a "new" 2nd storey floor for the main house that would be just as beautiful viewing from the first floor as the second. This flooring came from a grainery.

02/02/2022

Got a shot of the man himself – Al Bousfield just finishing up an install on a pair of mantels on both floors of a client’s house. Both custom mantels are hand hewn beams and are fastened with the appearance of wooden pegs. These beauties date back to 1850. Now they wait for their stone surround.

27/01/2022

These beauties are original stamped tin shingles from a 1920 barn that would look great as a feature wall, on an outdoor building, or just buy one or two for wall décor. We have about 350 pieces in stock.

20/01/2022

Have unsightly ducts or steel beams that you want to conceal? We don’t always need to install full lumber beams. We can use sheating or barnboard to capture that rustic heritage look you want. This client came to use with their measurements and we worked with them to create their awesome vision.

13/01/2022

Corrugated barn roofing circa 1920, painted one side, and we have some that are rust coloured. We have approx. 250 sheets in 6’ and 8’ lengths.
