The Reclaimed Kitchen Company owned by Chris Benson from Plymouth, Massachusetts offers a novel idea. Wood is reclaimed usually from old barns and buildings throughout the Northeast. There are two locations for the 
custom-crafting of our products: Plymouth, Massachusetts and Sharon Springs, New York.

They use their farm and barn in Sharon Springs, Upstate New York for the processing and storage of the antique, reclaimed lumber so it is ready for the next project. They also use the barn as a workshop for building unique, timeless pieces out of the reclaimed wood.

The Reclaimed Kitchen Company currently services Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

You can have a beautiful counter top of island top without having to cut down trees. If you are tired of looking at granite, etc. Chris' countertops are truly unique and beautiful.
