I’m looking for vendors of reclaimed/recycled/old timber to be used for beams in a house and for ceiling planks. Please let me know who you’ve used (contact info) and the experience.
Thanks, Larame

Contact your local "Green Building" association. They will have a listing of where you can find reclaimed building materials of all kinds. It's big business these days.Who's the cat that won't cop out, when there's danger all about?

You might try Terramai http://www.terramai.com. I just visited their booth at the West Coast Green conference. They are the only ones I can think of now
