Krantz Recovered Woods Establishes New Austin, Texas Location
Krantz Recovered Woods celebrates the opening of their Austin area 15,000 sq.ft. showroom, office and warehouse.
The facility is located 13 miles East of I-35 on US 290 E., at 14807 US Hwy. 20 E.
Recently relocated from New Orleans in 2009, the opening of this facility is a new beginning for the company.
The showroom offers homeowners, builders, architects, and designers a first hand view of wood products that
will assist in the planning and design of their projects. Their showroom displays different reclaimed wood
products in a professional setting that are, according to Krantz, “very unique and rarely found elsewhere.
The virgin growth woods we're working with haven't been available in any quantity since the early 1900's.
You might call this the second “Golden Age” of lumber products. We're very lucky to have this opportunity.”

the unique opportunity to enjoy the kind of wood that can only come from old-growth forests that have long since
disappeared. As Jimmy states in the article, "We may be on the tail end of ever seeing this wood, of people
ever touching it again, so we take a lot of care and take it very seriously."

book Benches, Chairs & Beds: Practical Projects from Shaker to Contemporary. On page 32, author Chris Marshall
praises our recovered lumber: "Higher ring counts make antique cypress exceptionally stable, fine grained,
largely free of knots, and naturally resistant to insects and rot."
