Should you be a Manomin Customer?

Do you take pride in your home and/or business? Would you like to create a look and feel — an experience — people remember after they’ve visited? Does the richness of real wood appeal to you? Do you settle for nothing less than the best? If you answered, “yes” to any or all of these questions, then Manomin Resawn Timbers may be the right company for you.



Known for reclaimed wood, particularly wide-plank antique wood flooring, Manomin provides customers with truly exceptional products. In this video, Mark Clasen and Sarah Londerville, co-owners of Manomin Resawn Timbers, talk about working with clients.

Whether people find us at tradeshows like the Midwest Home Show, direct mail, our website or even Twitter, they come to Manomin because they’re looking for the best in antique flooring or extraordinary reclaimed antique wood finishes on furniture or other custom projects. Our customers are designers, builders and architects as well as end users who are building or remodeling a home or business. They bring their blueprints and photos, and we bring years of experience and a variety of reclaimed wood options to consult on and create the perfect solution for each person.

Each style of reclaimed wood has it’s own look and feel, from reclaimed antique oak that we skip-plane to wide-plank Douglas fir coming out of a timber stock to antique elm for a more formal look. We need to understand your style and the experience you’re trying to create, and then we can bring the right reclaimed wood to the table — or mantle, or staircase, or paneling, or floor — whatever the case may be.

We invite you to watch the video or look through the gallery, but to truly experience the Manomin difference, you have to come to our show room at 15152 Freeland Avenue in Hugo, MN. We look forward to meeting you soon!

Countertop on I Hate My Kitchen


This countertop was created for the DIY Network's show 'I Hate My Kitchen'. The show featured a kitchen in a 1920's Minneapolis home. DIY saw us at the Minneapolis Home Show and asked if we would be interested in providing a countertop. They wanted a unique wood counter top that was also 'Green', so Manomin Resawn Timbers was a natural choice. This particular countertop is made of Antique Elm. The Antique Elm we have comes out of barns in central Wisconsin and dates from between 1820 and 1880. It comes to us as timbers and is custom milled, stained, and finished. You can find show times for this episode of 'I Hate My Kitchen' at the DIY networks website http://www.diynetwork.com/i-hate-my-kitchen/a-cooks-cottage/index.html.
