About Us

We are a small company committed to providing our customers not only with beautiful products but with an experience in reclaimed materials. Our customers are invited to visit barns and cabins with us, walk through our yard to hand-select materials, and spend time at our workshop to see their products being processed. We all share our enthusiasm and passion for old wood with everyone we meet- and we've found that its contagious! As individuals we are from a variety of backgrounds with many different talents but as a company we come together with a collective vision for sharing our love of reclaimed wood through our products, designs and custom homes.

Jared Groebner, Head Dude
Jared worked under a master carpenter for many years before attending the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, where he received his Bachelor's degree in Architecture. Jared is a licensed contractor in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. With a deep appreciation for all things wood and a knack for finding beauty where others assume waste, the career he's chosen is one of passion.

Amanda Groebner, Boss of Everything
Amanda attended Minnesota State University, Mankato, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design with an emphasis in Historic Restoration. Her greatest passion is designing custom cabinetry and furniture using reclaimed material. Amanda's enthusiasm for barns started at a young age as she spent many hours playing in the barn's hay mow at her family's farm - little did she know that it would become a career!

Steve Scovill, Wood Slinger/Drafting
Steve holds a Bachelor's degree in Interior Design from Minnesota State University, Mankato. He has five years design experience in residential and commercial lighting design along with several more years as an independent draftsman specializing in custom home design and detailed shop drawings.

Brian Baumgard, Chairman of the Boards
Brian, a Minnesota native with a rich background in a variety of specialties, fills many roles within the company. He leads both a dismantle and shop crew- his greatest talent is our custom timber and log projects. If you are a barn or cabin owner, it is very likely that your first visit will come from Brian; he is always looking for the next great building to add to our inventory.
