Our Heritage

Born From the Ground Up — Literally

The barns that dot the Missouri Valley landscape held up communities for over a century. When those structures came down, we saw what others missed: timber that had settled, seasoned, and strengthened through decades of heartland weather.

American Barnwood Company was built on a simple conviction — that the best wood isn't the newest, but the most proven. Each piece we salvage carries the density, stability, and character that only time and honest labor can produce.

Today, we source from demolished barns, old-growth structures, and heritage buildings across the region. Every board is hand-selected, kiln-dried, and milled right here in Missouri Valley — ready to become the centerpiece of your project.

Our Process

From Barn to Your Door

Every piece of barnwood goes through a careful transformation — from weathered structure to refined material ready for your project.

1

Source

We hand-pick timber from demolished barns and heritage structures across the Midwest, choosing only the densest, most character-rich pieces.

2

Restore

Nails, hardware, and debris are removed. Each board is kiln-dried to eliminate pests and stabilize moisture — then sanitized for indoor use.

3

Mill

Your order is milled to exact thickness, width, and profile — whether you need rustic wide-plank or precision shiplap for a refined install.

4

Deliver

Your custom-milled wood is packaged and delivered to your job site — or picked up at our Missouri Valley facility, ready to install.

"The barnwood we installed in our dining room completely transformed the space. You can feel the history in every board — it's like bringing a piece of the Midwest into your home."
