Renaissance Timber, LLC

Renaissance Timber works in hand-hewn wood. The company's website defines hand-hewing as turning a round tree into a square beam using only hand tools. A finehomebuilding.com page says Steve now owns Renaissance Timber and describes it as specializing in hand-hewn mantels and beams made from reclaimed and freshly felled wood. A pressherald.com page says the company operates out of the old barn on his homestead and calls it the only commercial hand-hewing business in Maine. A 2024 customer said they were accommodating and worked with that customer's tight schedule. A 2024 reviewer wrote that the work was worth the money. A 2025 customer wrote that lumber was full of termites and ruined their whole property.
