In our view, adhering to a responsible cause is one of the foremost business models to successfully guide companies well into the 21st century.
About Antique Wood
For every piece of wood that is reclaimed, that is less pressure on current growing forest resources. We pride ourselves on bringing excellent quality materials back into service and extending the life of this resource. Unlike our current forest resources, this antique wood is not a renewable resource, as the quality of this wood is not being replaced, as new forestlands are not being allowed to mature beyond a certain age and size. Few trees today will yield the size and quality beams that these older mills were built with.
Featured Product: Sinker Pine
Origin
Reclaimed from the Mobile Bay in Alabama. Material is in beam form, heavy hardware throughout.
The pine was originally used for a dry dock to berth WWII submarines. Once the dock was no longer needed, it was sunk. The material has been sunk for years until recently when ThyssenKrupp needed it removed to make way for large cargo ships docking at its new plant in Mobile.
Unique Characteristics
- Tight growth ring structure
- Mineral desposits from bay water give the wood a unique patina - green, grey and black hues

Current Project: Mt. Vernon Mill

We are currently deconstructing portions of Mount Vernon Mill. The Mount Vernon Mill structure is a large complex on the banks of the Tallapoosa River in Tallassee, AL.
The buildings on this property were built in a similar fashion to Springs Mill that was recently deconstructed by KMAC, including the 10" columns and large timbers and flooring beams. The exception is that these buildings have walls of granite blocks rather than brick. KMAC has experience with this type of deconstruction and will take extra care in bringing these beams and timbers down and preserving this heritage wood. "The wood contained in these timbers promises to be excellent quality and has a rich history," Bob Klinner of KMAC Services said recently. "With our experience with this type of material, we will know how to bring this building down with minimal damage to the wood, making as much as possible available for flooring and beam projects."
