Butcher Barn Dismantling Operation

Hand salvaging is possible. We managed to reclaim 95% of the barn. 15,000 board feet of re-usable woods.

Discovering a historic barn dating from 1860's here in Ohio is a relished experience. Constructed from hardwood native to the Old Black Swamp region, these timbers bear the mark of history through and through. Adz, auger, and maul formed the basis of the traditional methods used by journeymen from days of yore. Hand hewn and circular sawn facings, mortise and tenon Beech and Oak last a long time.

Carefully examining every piece, our crew then systematically dismantled the structure. Removing most of the nails in process was time consuming but reduced accidents.

Safety is very important since youngsters tend to explore.

Stahler Trucking and Leasing Company transported and stored the 15,000 board feet of salvaged wood. Now a fine assortment of historic material for your new project. Both affordable and practical for the barn enthusiast or restorationist.
