Barns in the pipeline

Old Legacy Timbers is passionate about barns and barn wood!  We are so lucky to have such a well connected founder and resident expert.  If there is a barn in Indiana or western Ohio that the owner wants or needs to be taken down, there is a good chance John will receive the call.

With the advent of modern technology, particularly in the farming regions of the midwest, there are a huge number of barns that are no longer needed for their original purpose.  And many of these beautiful barns have naturally fallen victim to the ravages of time, weather and natural decay.  We feel so lucky that we get the chance to reclaim and repurpose as much of this beautiful wood as we can get our hands on!

We wanted to share with you a few of the barns we are fortunate enough to be reclaiming.  It is our hope   that the beams and as much of the siding, roofing and assorted shutters and other barn parts will live to star in a second act.  Our next blog will feature a few of our latest projects where we have renewed and reused unless the upcoming trade show provides some good blog fodder.

You often find the most incredible beams in the most unsuspecting barns.

Great rose colored wood in the heart of Fort Wayne.
