Anthony Saraceno, a Bergenfield native, is the master craftsman and COO of Real Antique Wood. He says his passion started in high school shop class and never left.

Saraceno and his small team of seven travel far and wide to salvage wood from barns, homes and buildings—even dismantling a 140,000-square-foot facility in Plainfield.
