Ben Wurst / Reed Wurst
Ben grew up in Manahawkin, went to college in Maine, and returned to work in New Jersey in 2004. After returning home to work with some of the most endangered species of wildlife he started to collect and salvage wood debris to frame his photography of rare wildlife. Reclaimed was founded as a way for Ben to pursue his creative passions while reducing wood waste in local landfills. He actively supports grassroots nonprofit organizations by donating his time and creations, reflecting his commitment to making a positive impact in the community.

Reclaimed LLC relocated to downtown Manahawkin during the summer of 2022. Since then spare time for woodworking has been hard to come by, as the Wurst family has undertaken the monumental task of restoring the historic Manahawkin Methodist Church Parsonage, which was built in 1877. It started with restoration of the sandstone foundation and is ending with a complete overhaul of the inside of the home. We hope to complete it by the spring of 2025 and will have photos posted to the blog here to show some before/after photos.
Once completed, more time in the woodshop is desired, along with attending some fall festivals.
