Your Vision Realized - RECLAIMED•RESCUED•REDISCOVERED

The gale force winds of coastal British Columbia and Vancouver Island wreak havoc on our forests every winter causing major top breakage and forest instability. 2007 was particularly devastating as thousands of acres of timber were virtually flattened this year .These trees are more dangerous to harvest than green trees because they are more likely to have falling branches (widow makers) and other over head hazards. Clean up of these forests is important to sustainability and the fate of future stands. We are proud to be a part of this process. We mill large, beautiful timbers and boards from this salvaged source.

CET also rescues boom sticks, the logs that work as perimeter barriers, protecting lake and ocean-floating log booms while being towed. These boom sticks make fabulous timbers, boards and feature piece groupings.

CET is proud to be partnered with the finest ocean beachcombers who make a living from salvaging logs and trees from ocean bound land slide debris, storm throw and strays from log books. They comb storm ravaged areas of our coastal paradise looking for logs that are hazards to boating or the delicate Pacific ecosystem. They play an integral part in the clean up cycle. The logs they find often feature holes from saltwater shipworm which gives fabulous character. Available in timbers, boards, shipworm, clears and knotty.

Our sources include families that have salvage rights to lakes, river log hams and river debris trap areas in B.C. for generations. We find huge pre-Columbus Douglas Fir from the bottom of alpine lakes and Western Red Cedar logs that have floated on the surface of lakes for over 50 years. Timbers, boards and character pieces available.

We have the most beautiful collection of natural driftwood sculptures from a majestic lake on the Sunshine Coast. The pieces are silver with sun bleaching. All shapes and sizes available, from small up to 6 feet across!

We offer antique beams and timbers from dismantled mills, schools, factories and barns from all over British Columbia. We work with companies which specialize in a careful demolition process. The natural patina on these antique pieces is simply stunning. Timbers, boards and flooring available.

Our slabs range in thickness from 2 to 5 inches and we can find any width and length up to 30 feet. We can cut 'live edge' with the curvy natural edges or classic smooth square edges. We are constantly on the lookout for new character pieces. We have great relationships with arborists and loggers who really help to fulfill our wild and wonderful sourcing needs. We have found braided Hardwoods, beaver-chewed Cedar pieces and wild, natural pillars that make your plan a WOW project.
