Finally, Enjoy the Seasoned Grace of Reclaimed Wood from a Sustainable Source.
Why an alternative to Reclaimed Wood?
Reclaimed wood has matured over time; it is durable and beautiful. However, it is acquired by tearing down historical structures and ghost towns. It is limited in quantity and costly to reclaim. Only about half of the reclaimed wood is construction quality, so up to 50% is wasted.
Ranchwood is Renewable, Reduces Forest Fire Fuels, and Preserves History At Montana Timber Products, we've created ranchwood as a sustainable alternative.
- Renewable. Like reclaimed barn wood, ranchwood is more stable, less susceptible to shrinking and twisting, and out-performs kiln dried timber, green timber, and other conventionally cured woods. But only ranchwood is sustainable, improving the environment while enhancing your home.
- Healthy Forests. Ranchwood is salvaged from dead-standing Douglas Fir and Lodge Pole Pine. Our retrieval practices are environmentally friendly and reduce the risks of wildfire and carbon release. Forests are filled with this renewable resource and are healthier when it is harvested into ranchwood to be enjoyed in your home. We utilize every inch of each tree harvested, leaving no waste.
- Preserves History. Because we're salvaging dead-standing trees, we're also saving our beautiful historical structures for future generations. No homesteads will be sacrificed for your ranchwood.
