We love our wood: the way it feels in hour hands; how each piece hides a splinter of New York City history; how grains guides our designs.

Here are some of the origins of our reclaimed woods:

• Coney Island boardwalks
• NYC water towers
• Pickle and vodka tanks from a 1930′s distillery in the Bronx
• Playhouse where Eugine O’Neill put on his first play in 1916
• Docks underneath the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges
• Republican Club in Queens
• Founding artist’s Elks Club in the Bronx
• Antique wine tanks
• War e housed from the Meatpacking district

We get much of our NYC-specific wood from the Sawkill Lumber Co in the Bronx and Nicola’s brother who run’s Armster Reclaimed Lumber

Below is a slideshow of the historic buildings where the reclaimed materials were sourced.
