Three Forks Wood Reclamation supplies authenticated historic timber researched, conserved, and prepared for fine residential design — from great rooms and libraries to kitchens, staircases, and private galleries.
Three Forks Wood Reclamation supplies authenticated historic timber researched, conserved, and prepared for fine residential design. From great rooms and libraries to kitchens, staircases, and private galleries, every piece arrives with full provenance documentation tracing it to its original structure and era.
Founded by Chris Kelley, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL with over 31 years of service, and Christian Knutzen, a retired U.S. Army Green Beret with over 26 years of service, Three Forks leads teams worldwide in ethically recovering historic timber from sites such as the D-Day barns of Normandy and forgotten European workshops.
Every lot is handled with museum-level conservation standards, stabilized and preserved before delivery. Releases are curated and scarce, tied to a specific site and era, and never repeated once spoken for. No replicas, no approximations, only authenticated material with a verifiable chain of custody.
Historic timber sourced from authenticated European structures, including sites across Normandy.
Every reclamation is conducted with full legal permissions and respectful deconstruction, honoring the history of each structure we recover.
No replicas, ever: every timber is traced to its origin with full chain-of-custody documentation so its provenance is beyond question.
By recycling and reusing historic wood, we reduce waste and empower local craftsmen communities who share our commitment to preservation.
Each timber receives conservation-grade handling, stabilization, and preservation so it arrives ready for fine residential design without compromise.
