Chestnut Lumber

American Chestnut, though rare, is valued for its warm light to reddish-brown tones and rustic grain. Once dominant in the Eastern U.S., it’s now prized for reclaimed beams, panels, flooring, and restoration projects. The vast majority of available Chestnut is reclaimed.  Chestnut’s unique texture and history make it a hardwood full of character and charm.  Compare with Reclaimed Lumber or White Oak Lumber.
