Manomin Resawn Timbers was founded by company owner Sarah Londerville back in 2002 with the goal of providing the tools people needed to create their dream homes. With the increasing popularity of convenient and cheap choices like vinyl siding and composite floors, homeowners have less and less options to fill their homes with beautiful natural materials such as reclaimed wood. Even the timbers from modern forestry have changed, with speed to market ruling over quality products.

After completing a handful of small reclaimed wood hobby projects, Sarah saw the importance of the craft as well as the need for it in the market. A long way from doing bids at the kitchen table after the kids have gone to bed, Manomin Resawn Timbers now operates out of a thriving woodshop with a team of dedicated craftsmen and Sarah’s son Michael leading the production team.

WHAT WE DO

Since the beginning, Manomin Resawn Timbers has been committed to providing homeowners with the chance to make a space that is uniquely their own by taking advantage of the numerous qualities of reclaimed wood. Every piece we make is an opportunity to peek back in time to the days when trees grew old and tall, and the vast forests of North America produced the best building materials around. 

Every bit of wood that we refinish is salvaged from structures dating back to the early 19th century to the turn of the 20th. This was an era of rapid expansion as the Industrial Revolution took hold, and Americans were building farms, barns, factories, and warehouses all across the country. The superior quality and abundance of North American old growth timbers made them ideal building blocks for this infrastructure, and is the reason why we can still make great use of them 200 years later.
