The Historic Timber Co.

Where every floor tells a story!

For a quarter of a century, David Sumray has traversed the globe in pursuit of his passion for timber reclamation and forgotten buildings that have endured the test of time. He’s been to places where the only logical reason to be there would be pure intrigue. With a burning desire to resurrect these ancient timbers, he set up a sawmill in Ireland and has been shipping the material back ever since.  

The once-old, gnarled, weathered, worm-eaten, nail-infested piece of wood has been reborn into a stunning, one-of-a-kind piece that reveals a slice of history and hidden beauty. It’s a treasure to behold and cherish for years to come.

What Our Clients Say

The History

Upon their arrival in America, the colonists were greeted by vast, ancient forests that had developed over millions of years. These awe-inspiring trees were felled by hand and transported out of the forest with the assistance of horses and mules and were subsequently used to construct America. Unfortunately, this exceptional wood is no longer available, except for what remains in abandoned and forgotten structures that have withstood the test of time.
