The logs we salvage are indigenous hardwoods that grew in Maine’s pristine virgin forests. Shaded and protected, these hardwood trees were allowed to grow slowly, resulting in the tight growth rings, unrivaled size, density and rich color that are coveted trademarks of old-growth lumber.

Resting undisturbed, our logs have been perfectly preserved in Maine’s frigid waters, protected from timber’s worst enemies—direct sunlight, pests, and oxygen.

Our company’s mission is to provide eco-friendly lumber products by reclaiming an existing resource in an ecologically responsible way. DeadHead Lumber Company is committed to sustainable green building practices, and our recovered lumber qualifies for LEED certification points.
