About Us
Nestled in Utah, on the outskirts of the Salt Lake Valley, Diamond M Woodworks is surrounded by the rich history of the old West. That history is what sets Diamond M apart : every project begins with authentic weathered lumber reclaimed from the high desert and lush mountain landscapes of the mountain West. I’ve spent years reclaiming lumber from barns, corrals, fences, and other structures throughout the Western United States, from the red sandy desert scapes of Northern Arizona to the lush Teton Valley outside Jackson Wyoming, to the Northern reaches of Montana and thousands of miles of vast dirt road miles between; the lumber used in my builds tells a story all it’s own. After reclaiming this lumber from throughout the West, it’s carefully denailed, stacked, and cataloged in my shop outside Salt Lake City to be used in custom builds and shipped throughout the United States . . .carrying with it the history imprinted upon it by the harsh winters, strong winds, blazing heat, and driving rains of the West.
About the Wood
Long before putting hammer to nail, each and every Diamond M Woodworks build begins with gathering weathered historic lumber from structures scattered throughout the landscapes of the historic American West. From the arid landscapes of Arizona, through the high deserts of Utah, to the lush mountain valleys of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho; I travel far and wide to gather lumber from barns, fences, corrals, cabins, and other structures that have stories to tell.
No two pieces of lumber are the same. Weathered by snow, wind, rain, sun, and harsh winds, every Diamond M piece is genuinely one of a kind; as is each and every piece of lumber used to create them.
