Supplier focus: Bingham Lumber
Thanks to Tom Bingham for providing me with a tour of his showroom today. Bingham Lumber is a family owned business that for many years was a sawmill, supplying lumber to wholesalers and retailers. In recent years, Tom and his team have re-shaped the business and have become a producer of specialty millwork, with a particular emphasis on interior trim products.
The real growth in the business, however, is in the reclaimed lumber market. Bingham buys truckloads of old beams, barn board, etc, and then re-saws and mills this material into flooring, moldings and paneling. Here at Landmark Services, we've been using Bingham for several years to supply us with material for our renovations. We're currently using some of their reclaimed heart pine to build cabinets for one of our projects in Milton. We see environmentally responsible cabinetry as a growing segment of our business.
If you're anywhere near Brookline, NH (just north of Pepperell and Groton, Mass) take a ride up to check out their showroom. It's a fantastic resource.
