Years later, Doug found that the name Levanna was a variant form of Levana: Roman goddess and protectorate of newborn infants. According to legend, during an acceptance ceremony, the father would lift the baby for all to bear witness of being his legitimate heir. Known as "the Lifter", Levanna also means "to rise" or, "the new hope". For a business that gives old barn wood new life or "new hope", the name Doug chose for his new beginning was not only fitting... it was down right uncanny.

Distinct in Kind and Quality
Today, Levanna offers a wide range of products including custom wide plank and patterned flooring, eco-friendly engineered flooring, and an ultra hard Aluminum Oxide pre-finishing option. We also provide versatile end grain tiles, expertly crafted fireplace mantels, tables, cabinets, and yes... recycled barn siding.

About the Wood
Our barn timbers range in age from 100 to 200 years, with many of them dating to the settlement period of Central New York (c.1790 – 1820). As a result, most of our antique wood is recycled virgin forest, slow-growth timber. Reclaimed antique wood is renowned for its character and color, tight grain and textures: qualities most often preferred over that of today’s fresh-cut stock. That’s why the beauty of antique wood speaks louder than the evidence of its time-worn tale. It’s desired by those of us who work with it, and by the architects, designers, builders and homeowners who select our products.
