IMG_7966We have the rare opportunity to offer virgin cut American Chestnut.

At one time American Chestnut trees represented 25% of the Eastern Hardwood forest.

By the early 1950’s the American Chestnut tree was virtually eliminated by what is known as the chestnut blight. The blight destroyed 3.5 billion chestnut trees in just 40 years.

The majority of American Chestnut bought today is reclaimed. In many cases, it is cut from beams or comes from barns. It is typically wormy due to the tree not being able to fight off the chestnut timber borer beetle.

 

I have the last stand of American Chestnut trees available in the United States for sale or available to create a project for you in our workshop located in Downers Grove, IL.

Please contact us today for information about the American Chestnut wood we have available to purchase or use in your next project.
