Our designers begin exploring scale, proportion, balance and materials in early elevation sketches. These first thoughts are refined, eventually becoming the face of a new home.

Exposed under the loft edge, floor joists and tongue and groove of Douglas fir lead down a hallway of reclaimed heart pine flooring with large energy efficient windows to a curving staircase of reclaimed jarrah.

We’ve been working steadily on an office remodel and we’re excited to feature our reclaimed barn board siding as desk fronts. The siding maintains its weathered colors and texture providing contrast with our American Gothic ash (middle) and chestnut (far end) flooring.

Steve Shaw (www.shawvineyards.com) has been having us build his vineyard for the last few years, part by part. This perfectionism shows in his wines, and all that he does.

Occasionally we let our engineers into the shop to get their hands dirty (in fact, we encourage it). Dave particularly enjoys these "breaks." Here he’s sanding the bottom of a curved bottom chord (part of a parallel chord truss) of reclaimed Southern Yellow Pine.

We partnered with SWBR Architects on this Asian-inspired tea house for Monroe Community Hospital's Alzheimer's disease residents. This donor funded project will give patients and their families an aesthetic, tranquil shelter to enjoy.

There's nothing like hiring an ex-Marine to oversee the construction of our clients' homes; each one bears his unmistakable stamp of quality. When you spend your days worrying about interiors and exteriors, it only makes sense that Tad, wife Katie, and their three kids spend their time together enjoying the great outdoors.

This 3D rendering shows the bones of a Mendon, NY home currently on the boards in our design group. Eastern white pine timbers harvested from this client's property will be dried and cut to form this frame in Mendon, NY.

About 5 years ago, we brought 14 containers of antique Jarrah reclaimed from old Australian Woolen Mills to upstate NY. Since then we've turned it into flooring, counters, furniture, doors, stairs, and cabinets. NEWwoodworks designed and built this kitchen using this richly hued antique wood. It is around 7 years ago.

Dr. and Mrs. Chung pose in the loft of their timber frame home. The Chinese inscription below them reads: “moon rising over old tree”.

The first winter for Doug and Melanie’s new home came complete with snow and cold temperatures. Nestled along a lake shore this home uses a mixture of exterior pieces including stone, natural siding and reclaimed barn board siding.

The crane hoists this queen post bent with curved bottom chord of reclaimed industrial salvage Douglas fir (one of several bents for the great room) up and into place at a recent raising.

With quick wit and a keen sense of humor, Cal has a story for everything. Here he's changing the story of old timbers, separating each newly cut board by grade in preparation for a trip to the moulder. Cal recently moved into a new hilltop home with wild views of sunsets and where more of his epics are sure to be wrought.

Featuring reclaimed Jarrah risers and Heart Pine treads, this spiral stair by NEWwoodworks becomes a sculptural element within this lake home. The treads of the stair transition from the rustic heart pine floor of the great room to the more refined heart pine floor of the loft.

Featuring Autumn Woods (varying species of hardwoods including beech and maple) with live edge treads, this staircase by NEWwoodworks also includes a few framing members salvaged from the original farmhouse.
