Services
At This Old Wood, we save and reclaim the lumber from old buildings that would otherwise be thrown out and breathe new life into it. We take wood from 19th and 20th century barns, homes, stores, dance halls, you name it, and transport them back to our shop. Once we have collected the wood, we then clean it up by removing nails and planing if necessary.
Jeff is originally from Baltimore, MD and came to Texas after high school and never looked back. He is alumni of SMU and UT-Dallas. His first job after college was in manufacturing of wood pallets for shipping at Pallet Logistics of America in Dallas as well as being a lifetime woodworking hobbyist.
Wood is an Amazing, Renewable building material that's great for Green Builders and DIYers alike. Wood and lumber can be a great eco-friendly resource for many reasons. It can be reclaimed or salvaged and recycled into new wood projects or raw materials. We strive to help the environment while providing a wide variety of reclaimed wood products, custom wood furniture, fixtures, bars, benches, and much more.
Quite a bit of our projects contain beams, flooring or siding here at This Old Wood. Our hand-hewn beams have rough, rustic ax marks and are typically from the pre-civil war era. Or, we have saw mill beams that have cleaner edges with authentic circle saw marks. Beams are perfect for things like vaulted ceilings, columns, and mantles pieces.

I chose to have This Old Wood make a large hall tree for my home after reading many wonderful things about Jeff & his team online.
Today....my hall tree was delivered and I can honestly say that there isn't one thing that I don't absolutely love about it!
It is a one of a kind piece with character and rustic beauty. The craftsmanship done by Zack is immaculate!
It's not always easy for me to visualize what things r going to look like from the drawing stage. I left many things up to the discretion of Zack and I am so glad that I did!
I love every touch that he added!

The guys at This Old Wood were amazing to work with. I wanted some floating shelves for my 1950s kitchen but didn't want anything too rustic or farmhouse looking. William totally delivered exactly what I was looking for and the shelves look amazing. These guys are true craftsmen. I highly recommend them.

These guys are awesome! Everyone that works there is positive and extremely helpful, especially William. William is very passionate and quite skilled when in comes to the trade of woodworking and carpentry.
It has been such a pleasure working with these gentlemen on our house project.
If you have any desire or need for a project using reclaimed wood you would be doing yourself a disservice by not visiting with the guys at This Old Wood.

We are absolutely blown away by our farm table, thanks to the incredible craftsmanship of Jeff and his team. We have received so many compliments, and we could not be happier with our "new" piece. Jeff exceeded our expectations, and it was such a pleasure to work with him. We loved visiting the shop, and the best part was discovering that Jeff is originally from our hometown, Baltimore!
The entire experience was such a fun and positive one, and we now have a table that we absolutely love and are so proud of. Hats off to This Old Wood.

Knowledgable, Creative, Passionate and Generous. Jeff and his team are fabulous! As someone who highly values my time, I was honestly shocked at how willing they were to give me theirs. They patiently walked me all through their entire yard (twice - brought my wife back) while pointing out options of raw, reclaimed lumber. Afterward, we went up to the shop where they showed me multiple levels for 'finishing' each type. They had great suggestions for my project (master bed, headboard, footboard), shared the work with me (I did some, they did some), and even gave me tips and tricks on how to get

All I can say is WOW! Had a great visit today and met Jeff and Mike while looking for some hand hewn beams for a fireplace mantle. There is a huge inventory of every conceivable type of wood displayed around the property. I did my usual "Mom" thing and asked about the beams on the bottom of the pile. No problem for these courteous and STRONG folks. Ended up with two beauties and Jeff even lightly sanded one for me as requested. They are knowledgable, friendly and willing to go the extra step to help. Jeff loaded everything in my car, (a Prius!) and off I went with a beautiful piece of

My in-laws found This Old Wood back when they were located just out of Dripping Springs and have loved their experience for past DIY’s and projects. They were eager to recommend this place when we started building our tiny home. We came today looking for reclaimed wood for shelving in our kitchen and closet space. We were very impressed with their stock and customer service. William was very patient as we discussed our options and walked through the entire lot. He pulled out board after board to find what we were looking for. We walked away satisfied with our kitchen shelving, and empty handed

I'm torn between sharing this info with the world or keeping this sweet secret to myself but I'm not selfish. This place ROCKS...or, rather WOODS. Talk about the selection! Mike, the tat artist, was sensational with his service and help. He was just as excited as I was about every piece he showed me. You can tell this man loves design. He even took the time to show us some of the items he was working on. And ideas for your wood? OMG. He was patient with me while I pondered and perused the inventory. And yes, we are talking legit 'barn' wood and old beams that are at

If you are looking for a great place to find beautiful reclaimed wood for your next project, this is the place. Jeff. Showed us his vast collection and knew the story of where most of it came from. That's pride in your product! They made a bathroom vanity for us which turned out beautifully. They are now working on a fireplace mantle for us. They delivered on time and it was exactly what I wanted.

I went to this old wood looking for some pieces of wood to build a bonsai bench. Guys that work there were great and ended up showing me their entire yard. I ended up walking away with some really interesting pieces of wood. They were more than willing to cut them down to size and essentially give me instructions on how to build the table and do other forms of woodworking. To be clear, I am a novice when it comes to all of this. They were awesome and I cannot wait to go back. I have reached out to them since I left and they have continue to give me advice. They are tremendously patient and fair

They are amazing!! Totally recommend them! The wood pieces are stunning, really beautiful! They try and keep track of where the wood came from, and how old it is, etc. It was super cool to be able to tell my clients a little bit about the history behind their 120 year old piece, that will be the mantel on their fireplace! And Jeff is great, he helps with design ideas, stain colors and/or finishing suggestions, he really works hard to make sure clients are happy, I can tell he really cares! Also prices are reasonable, I work for a remodeling company and we will definitely continue to use them for

Highly recommend this place if you are looking for reclaimed wood for your project. I stopped by to look for a unique piece to make a cheese board. Met Jeff and he was great. He hooked me up with a scrap piece of pine and ran it through the wood planer for me. Definitely will be back for some reclaimed wood for my next big project. Tons to choose from.

This place used to be a great supplier for old wood and always was honest and trustworthy. Recently I trusted these past experiences of buying old wood and sent my wife down to get wood (wood I had called about twice being 2" thickness) I saw this wood this morning and it is not 2" thick but I was charged for 2" thickness. The thickness was not measured in front of my wife. Some of the wood is also glued but it was discounted slightly but not enough to account for the new higher prices. Mike was great to deal but now he is mostly retired. Jeff is in charge now and seems all about
