Cook’s Antique Lumber now features hand-hewn barn frames in its product line!

We specialize in white pine because they make the best frames. We offer full construction services or we can sell you a frame and material.
At Cook’s, we get the best material simply because we have the best suppliers and I take the time to select each board and beam personally.

We offer the best pricing because we have the lowest overhead in the business.

“Antique lumber is more than just a business it is my passion.” Tim Cook
