One-of-a-kind Adirondack Chairs

What to do with all the smaller pieces of reclaimed wood?  Such a treasure, and in this day of sustainability, we would hate to waste them all.  So we have designed a funky adirondack chair and each has its own unique character!

We have combined four types of barn wood in varying colors of grays, weathered whites and rustic reds.  Each is hand assembled by a local artist, Jamin Ernst.  You can rest assured they will last a very long time!  (Have to be careful not to say "the rest of your life" as that may short change the chairs for some of us:)

As with most adirondack chairs, they are immensely comfortable and easy to move to your favorite perch... be it in front of the lake, or a fire in your back yard.

While this is our first foray into the land of furniture, with the exception of the cute birdhouse pictured above, it will not be our last.  We have been commissioned to do a chunky dining table which you can be sure will be featured in an upcoming blog.

These adirondack chairs will be featured in the winter issue of Lakes magazine but if they peak your interest you can order one directly from us at oldlegacytimbers.com or komcct@gmail.com and get the special blog price of $110.00.  I think they would make perfect holiday gifts!  We can also ship them unassembled, with instructions for even the directionally challenged, if you are outside the Heartland.

The "Saloon Shed"

As this is our first blog here is a bit of history about Old Legacy Timbers.  At Old Legacy Timbers we have dismantled and reclaimed the wood from over 300 barns in the heartland of America. It is this hands-on expertise that makes us so special in this industry.

We work directly with the owners of these historic structures to pick the best quality and greatest diversity of beams and wood available in the midwest.

Because we have over 300,000 board feet of inventory we can meet the needs of both large builders and the individual homeowner. We have dismantled each barn individually and we intimately know our inventory and can pick out the perfect beams or wood for each job.

We can also design and construct one-of-a-kind barns, outbuildings or sheds using the finest reclaimed hardwood available, like our latest structure pictured below.  This building is conveniently located in Fort Wayne and will serve as showcase for Old Legacy Timbers in Northeast Indiana. 

This "Saloon Shed" is constructed of hundred year old beams and finished with every kind of wood from oak to hickory to ash, this shed has it all!





The framing was constructed at the yard in Hartford City and moved by truck to Fort Wayne and the remaining finish work was done on site.  The shed is 18' x 20' and has a 2 door rear entry as well as a front door and 2 windows opened by pulleys.  This beautiful weathered gray siding makes for a warm interior and is over 300 years old.




While this particular shed will be used primarily for potting, storing gardening and beekeeping supplies as well as housing a small tractor and golf cart, the uses for a shed are too numerous to list.  


As we soon discovered it makes a wonderful place to host a party.  You are limited only by your imagination!


But as you plan your building projects be they an addition to an existing house or lake cottage or a brand new/old house barn or shed - think of Old Legacy Timbers for that one of a kind look that can be achieved only by using reclaimed wood from the finest barns in the heartland!  Visit our website at oldlegacytimbers.com.  

Don't forget your reclaimed adirondack chairs and birdhouses!
