Virgin Timber Lumber CoSince 2010, Virgin Timber Lumber Co. in southern West Virginia has been giving old Appalachian lumber new life as reclaimed-wood furniture and handcrafted wooden wall plates.

Its work grew from founder John Petro’s home-remodeling project into custom furniture, architectural collaborations, and thousands of wall-plate orders.FAYETTEVILLE, WV
