Our Story

The inspiration behind Hewn dates back to the early years of American history, and is inherently tied to the vast wealth of knowledge held by generations of American woodworkers.

Hewn’s founder, Bret, grew up in a historic Connecticut home dating back to the 1790s, with parents who made their living as accomplished artists and antique dealers. From an early age, Bret was immersed in craftsmanship, learning to carve wood at just eight years old, while also restoring high-end collectibles (including Christie’s-level antiques), and honing his skills in sculpting, painting, and drawing as a teenager.

Bret and his brother Mat later founded Morgan’s Fine Finishes, which is built on their extensive knowledge of antique restoration and the art of replicating traditional techniques on modern materials. Their many decades of combined experience continues to lead them to work on high-end, one-of-a-kind projects across the country.

Hewn, in its current form, has its beginnings in the early 2010s, when Bret and Mat recognized a gap in the architectural and design market for high quality and consistent wood materials that maintained the historic look of a reclaimed product, without all of the challenges that reclaimed material presents. With this single idea in mind, Hewn began developing the processes required to make this vision a reality, quickly becoming a leader in the field with nationwide industry recognition.

Wood being planed

From its inception, Hewn has been driven by the desire to create products that fill market needs, often before the competition catches up. When competitors imitate, Hewn simply continues to innovate, always pioneering new solutions. 

Yet despite this growth, Hewn remains committed to its roots as a torchbearer of American architectural tradition. All of Hewn’s products are still produced by skilled craftsmen in its Oregon and Montana facilities, with a dedicated in-house support team and a nationwide network of sales representatives who closely align with our values.

 

Hewn is more than just a manufacturer – We are a partner in the architectural, design, and construction process. And with our rich history and service-forward approach to the material ordering process, we can bring your vision to life.
