Heritage Barns

Historic Barns, Cabins, Mills & Homes

At Heritage Restorations, we preserve fine examples of 18th- and 19th-century timber frame barns, cabins, houses and mills by locating, documenting and dismantling the original buildings, then carefully restoring their hand-hewn timbers. We then restand them on your property where they can be converted into unique homes, offices, guest houses, barns or shops with all the conveniences of modern structures. Visit our site to view our portfolio of available buildings and floor plans as well as descriptions of our completed projects.

Custom Millwork using Antique Materials

Heritage Restoration builds custom trusses, doors, flooring and other architectural millwork using beautiful antique hand-hewn and rough-sawn timbers. Our millwork combines the design flexibility of new construction with the rustic beauty of antique wood. We also offer a wide variety of custom-forged ironwork railings, fixtures, hinges and finishing hardware.

School of Woodworking

Sponsored by the Center for Essential Education

Discover the Art of Hand Tool Woodworking

At the School of Woodworking, we offer a complete curriculum of hand-tool woodworking classes. Whether you attend our beginning seminar or progress one level at a time through our full course of make-your-own workshops, you'll see not only how traditional hand woodworking methods simplify the craft of working wood, but how viable they are when you incorporate them into your woodworking life.

In our workshops, we cover a variety of important topics to establish foundational skills in hand woodworking for the beginning woodworker through advanced levels of woodworkers. Students can choose to attend separate workshops, or, for those who travel from out of town and prefer to attend a full week of intensive hand tool woodworking, we combine the same workshops into multiple-day comprehensive courses. We offer these classes year-round at Homestead Craft Village in central Texas.
