About Us
AquaTimber is a premium old-growth wood product that is environmentally-friendly and unmatched in character.
150 years-ago, lumberjacks cut millions of trees across America to send the wood to Europe. These timbers were transported in massive floating rafts via lake and river. Up to 15% of this lumber sank en route.
The cold, oxygen-free waters of the Great Lakes preserves the sunken lumber (up to 1,000 years old) until our company can recover it using our eco-friendly recovery craft and then dry it using a high-tech kiln.
