BlueStone Construction | Old World Timber in your MN lakehome
What is the difference between an average middle class Minnesota lake home and a one-of-a-kind upper end one? In a word, "detail". One such detail that adds as much individuality as it does historical depth would be the use of "old world timber". Old world timbers come from structures that often predate the civil war.
There is a rich history associated with these old timbers. When we build using them, we strive to document their story so future owners will not lose sight of the rich historical heritage their timbers provide to the overall cabin feeling. Here is one such story of some old world timbers we used recently:
"St. Joseph's Catholic Church located in Marathon City, Wisconsin was first constructed with these timbers in 1857. They remained part of that structure up until the year 1912. At that time, St. Joseph's decided to build new.
Back then, people didn't throw away things like they do today. Salvaging old materials was common practice because new material was costly and hard to come by, money was scarce and labor was cheap. Robert Ahrens acquired the material from the old church in 1912 and used them to construct a barn on his property 5 miles south of Marathon City. Reclaimed wood was not sufficient to complete his entire barn project so newly cut material was used in conjunction with reclaimed timbers.
It is easy to identify which materials originated from the old church when looking at the barn. Those pieces that had mortise pockets facing the wrong way or were used wrongly indicate which beams were used before.
Merlin Schumacher bought the property in 1987 and in 2009 sold the barn to Scott Slingsog. Mr. Slingsog disassembled salvageable material that eventually led to BlueStone using them."
Think of the many important events and conversations these timbers witnessed. Think of what it took to make each one. The sheer physical labor it took to hand hew each piece from a virgin tree trunk points back to a time when hard work using one's own hands was the measure of quality and self respect.
Back then, simple living and valuing what you had defined success. They were testament to a life well lived.
