Back side of Aurora Mills Architectural Salvage - raw material for beautiful ecological furniture.
People often ask where the wood that we use at Portico comes from. We work mainly with old reclaimed Douglas Fir.
The first immigrant Oregonians of a hundred or more years ago had no other choice but to use old growth trees for their construction needs. A lot of old barns in the Oregon country side are now reaching their end of usefull life. If you own one the old barns that is about to collapse, consider calling a business such as Aurora Mills Architectural Salvage. Much more ecological than burning the wood. The folks in Aurora sell this resource to the public. In my opinion a must see place when you go to Aurora Oregon.
