A Brief Rundown on the History of Our Rescued Wood Paneling

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the United States experienced rapid growth that culminated in the Industrial Revolution. Builders across the country relied on one abundant, affordable, and durable resource: wood. Homes, barns, factories, and warehouses were constructed with lumber so resilient that it can still be salvaged today.

The wood used for reclaimed wood paneling for walls and ceilings has endured generations of use, weather, and time—emerging with unmatched strength and a naturally aged aesthetic that modern materials simply can’t replicate. That’s why homeowners, contractors, and interior designers continue to seek out high-quality reclaimed wood paneling to bring authenticity, texture, and timeless appeal into their spaces.

At Manomin Resawn Timbers, we take pride in rescuing lumber from historic American barns, factories, and warehouses—structures that once played a vital role in everyday life. Whether sourced from an Industrial Revolution–era paper factory or a family barn that stood for six generations, every board we reclaim carries a story. By incorporating this reclaimed wood paneling into your walls or ceilings, you help preserve that history while creating new memories of your own.

Our Reclamation Process for Wood Paneling

1. De-Nailing

Once our supplier completes an initial round of surface de-nailing, we meticulously extract any remaining nails or metals from the reclaimed panels we rescue. By utilizing metal detector wands and other potent detection tools, our team quickly and safely removes all traces of metal from each shipment of reclaimed materials, transporting them to our kilns afterward for drying.

 

2. Kiln Drying

Manomin Resawn Timbers uses powerful commercial kilns to dry reclaimed lumber to an optimal moisture content. This step is essential for producing reclaimed wood paneling for walls that remains stable through seasonal changes. Kiln drying prevents shrinkage, improves installation ease, and eliminates any insects or larvae hidden within the wood.

3. Milling

Regrettably, most salvaged barn boards and timbers are severely uneven and warped when they’re first rescued. That’s where our team of seasoned craftspeople comes in. These woodworking professionals make use of a wide variety of tools, including special saws, planers, joiners, molders, and more, to make each piece of lumber we save perfectly flat, straight, and square, creating gorgeous and unique paneling that will make your project shine.
