Barnwood Naturals was founded in 2006 by Bruce Wadleigh, a Salem, Oregon resident with a vision to transform spaces using reclaimed materials. After nearly two decades in the corporate world, Bruce shifted his focus to sustainable design, repurposing weathered wood and other materials into custom interior and exterior solutions. Our team of five skilled craftsmen specializes in creating unique, eco-friendly installations that blend historic charm with modern aesthetics. We source 100% of our materials domestically, avoiding foreign imports, and offer full-service milling capabilities.Over the years, we've expanded beyond barn wood to incorporate corrugated metal, Shou Sugi Ban, and other innovative techniques while maintaining our commitment to low-impact design. Headquartered along Salem's Willamette River, we've completed over 2,200 projects since our inception, earning recognition through Marion County's EarthWISE certification in 2007. Our approach prioritizes creative problem-solving, embracing challenging projects that push the boundaries of reclaimed material applications.
