TWII Board on Board / TWII
Trestlewood II (Salty Fir) Lumber products are sawn from Douglas Fir piling of the Great Salt Lake's Lucin Cutoff railroad trestle. The flexibility of this material source supports a wide range of lumber products, including circle-sawn lumber, band-sawn lumber (KD or not), weathered lumber and edged slabs.
Gray Barnwood and HH Timbers
Trestlewood's Barnwood Lumber is carefully reclaimed from siding, roof boards, granary boards, loft floors and other parts of vintage structures.

Barnwood Lumber is mixed species and can be sorted for broad general categories of look (browns/greys and roughsawn/smooth, for example). The variation of look from piece to piece is a characteristic of this product and a sort for absolute consistency is neither desirable nor achievable.
Striking color variation and clear straight grain make Trestlewood's Douglas Fir Picklewood Lumber a popular resawn distressed lumber product. Weathered Picklewood lumber products are also popular.

Beginning in the mid 1800s, dozens of food preparation companies produced pickles, vinegar and other food products in large wooden vats. Now vat staves produce Picklewood lumber with its signature intermixing of light and dark colors. Vat bottoms (and thicker staves) result in lumber with rich colors but more subtle color variations.
TWII Resawn Slabs Wedgelap Siding
Trestlewood II Resawn Slabs are a rustic and cost-effective alternative to barnwood. The salt and other minerals of the Great Salt Lake provide a wide range of colors and other unique characteristics which interact well with the rough circlesawn texture and wane edges.
Trestlewood's Classic Douglas Fir Lumber is produced from Douglas Fir timbers and lumber saved from a variety of buildings and industrial structures. Douglas Fir Classic Lumber is usually band sawn and kiln dried.

Douglas Fir Classic Lumber can contain reminders of its reclaimed nature in the form of occasional random nail holes and bolt holes and accompanying staining. It is a great candidate for a wide range of reclaimed wood applications.
Douglas Fir Rescued Timbers / Standing Dead - Douglas Fir Lumber
Trestlewood's Rescued Fir Lumber is generally resawn from nature-damaged (fire, insect, etc.) logs or from by-products of sawmill, logging or other wood-processing operations. Often the logs from which this lumber is cut are "standing dead" and are more stable than timbers cut from green logs. Lumber can be kiln dried for further stability.

Rescued Fir Lumber is cut from a variety of Fir species (Douglas Fir, Alpine Fir, White Fir, etc) This product line offers a competitively-priced alternative to reclaimed fir lumber.
Antique Pine Band Sawn Lumber / Note that the quality of grain varies from piece to piece
Trestlewood's Heart Pine/Southern Yellow Pine Lumber offers attractive rustic antique lumber options with a story to tell. A Spiegel Catalog warehouse, a pharmaceutical company warehouse and Hammonds Cold Storage buildings are a few of the sources of Trestlewood's SYP and Heart Pine lumber.

Trestlewood has split and weathered some 3x6 SYP from the Spiegel warehouse, creating a good-looking Pine barnwood option in lengths to 16'.
Cypress and Redwood Deck / The yellowish material is cypress; the reddish is redwood
Trestlewood's reclaimed Redwood, Cedar and Cypress Lumber products are great options if you are looking for a product with natural decay resistance, beauty and history. You've got to love the rich colors of these products. Pickle vat staves and bottoms are the source of much of Trestlewood's Redwood / Cedar / Cypress inventory.
Oak Cabinets and Island
Trestlewood produces Antique Oak Lumber from timbers reclaimed from a variety of hand-built structures (barns, mills, elevators, etc.) Antique Oak Lumber is available with band-sawn and/or weathered faces.

Trestlewood also offers a line of Coverboard Oak Lumber.

If you are looking for something solid and steady that has passed the test of time, you can't beat Antique Oak Lumber.
Window Seat Bench with Hewn Skin Facing
The durability, beauty and history of Trailblazer Lumber make it one of our favorites.

Trailblazer Lumber comes from timbers that early American settlers hand cut from the trees they cleared from their property. These settlers often did not discriminate between species - if a timber was good and solid, they used it. In the same spirit of resourcefulness, all solid hardwood boards generated from sawing Trailblazer timbers qualify for inclusion in our Trailblazer lumber program.
Chestnut Paneling / Note the character of the hit and miss planed chestnut
Reclaimed Chestnut Lumber is a rare find, but something Trestlewood frequently has in stock. This is a beautiful product that is rich in history.
Mushroomwood Lumber is an ultra-rustic and entirely unique option to standard barnwood. Mushroomwood generally has deep weathering and dark rustic brown color tones.

Mushroomwood originates deep underground in Appalachian coal-country where no-longer-productive coal mines have been converted into mushroom growing facilities. Thousands of board feet of species such as cypress, hemlock and cedar have been used in these facilities to provide growing platforms for the mushrooms.
Barn Siding / This barn is sided with coverboard barnwood
Coverboard Lumber: Coverboards can be used by lumberyards to prevent newly sawn material from weathering. The coverboards themselves become nicely weathered, making them an ideal barnwood candidate. Trestlewood's coverboard barnwood program provides another attractive barnwood lumber option for you.

Coverboard advantages over other barnwood products include widths (significant quantities available up to 12" wide), lengths (significant quantities of 16'+ lengths available) and color/weathering consistency.
H-H Siding
Trestlewood processes hand hewn sleepers into Hand Hewn Skins, a unique 2" siding which is unmatched in character and beauty. Hand Hewn Siding is generally installed with chinking in between the slabs. It may be installed with "tails" which can be used to create dove tails at each of the corners of the house.
