Our parent company, Wisconsin Woodchuck, was created in 2005 to salvage antique grain elevators and save the old-growth wood that might otherwise end up in a landfill.

Many grain elevators were lost to fires during their operation. Of those that survived, many have been demolished or burned to enable redevelopment. We rescue antique granary timbers, dimension lumber, and architectural pieces and give them new life.

While we are proud to contribute to the conservation of our planet's natural resources, we also love the richness and character of old-growth wood.  Since the virgin forests that produced this wood are virtually extinct, the only way to enjoy its warmth and beauty is through re-use.

Our current project is the deconstruction of the 1887 Globe Elevator, once the biggest grain storage facility in the world. It contains some 6 million board feet of wood (mostly Eastern White Pine), as well as hundreds of tons of Real Wrought Iron and other antique hardware.

In 2007, Wisconsin Woodchuck formed a subsidiary, Old Globe Reclaimed Wood Company, in order to manufacture and market a wide array of consumer products utilizing materials salvaged from these antique grain elevators. 

Today, products from the Old Globe Reclaimed Wood Company grace luxury homes, restaurants, and convention centers.  Our customers include timber framers, contractors, architects, artists, and custom blacksmiths.

A full line of magnificent hand crafted solid and engineered flooring is now being distributed exclusively through a national and international network of distributors and dealers.

Of course, everything that Old Globe sells is environmentally friendly.  Our wood finishes are safe for you and your family.
