The image of a large red barn standing alone in a silent corn field remains a vivid memory for many of us. How close did you come to the barn, or was it your barn? As you enter the
barn you feel the energy of the walls talking, telling you stories of craftsmen
carving and sawing by hand, joints and pins that hold the entire structure
together. You are instantly amazed by the size of the building and the
human power and skill it took to hoist enormous beams two to four stories
in the air. Thick, solid hardwood slabs form the massive floor that holds
antique farm equipment as if they are toys. Although rarely maintained, as you look up at the barn, it has the strength and appearance of just being built.
Almost always, the barn roof, due to neglect, deteriorates and water slowly creeps down rotting the major supports. This type of damage is extremely expensive to repair. Once the structure becomes unstable, the area is very dangerous for children, pets, and wildlife. At this point, it is not unusual that a barn owner will want to take the barn down with a match. There are many reasons we wish to prevent this from happening. Along with desecrating the surrounding environment, the history of the barn is completely lost.
Originally in 1997, our furniture and Hardwood flooring was made from recycled shipping pallets. In 1999, we began utilizing the unique and unusual grain patterns that barnwood offers. Various species found in barns include: Walnut, Chestnut, Hickory, Red and White Oak, Maple, Poplar, Cherry, Black Oak and Spalted Maple. Some of these woods are nearly extinct, making them extremely difficult to find from conventional sources. Study of growth rings on the beams and logs indicates our barnwood comes from trees which began growing 300 to 600 years ago. In 2004 we started using old growth trees either dead standing or that have fallen. These trees would be used for pallet wood, fire wood, left dead standing, wood chips or just burned in the forest. We have amish custom cut the logs the same way they were cut 150 years ago,to give the same unique appearance as barn wood without the high COST of barn wood. Extremely difficult to find from conventional sources. We offer many types of wood from barn wood to recycled wood from old growth all wood products we sell are GREEN.
