SPECIES
|
White
Pine
Reclaimed barn boards from vintage midwestern barns.
The weathered, painted face has been planed off to reveal
a beautiful patina and rich grain detail, staining, light
distressing, nail holes, knots, and occasional sapwood.
A favorite at the shop.

Chestnut
This wood is distinctive because of its rich, striking
contrasts: from a dark chocolate to a light, creamy butternut
color, with hints of yellow tannins. It
is often referred to as "worm wood" because of
its unique texture. Along with its wormy character, it
is accompanied by knots, nail holes, and distress checking
|
|
Oak
Re-sawn from old barn timbers, oak can have the greatest
amount of character, with insect scarring, knots, nail
holes and light distress checking. Oftentimes sold as mixed
species of white, red, and black.
|
|
Ash
A light coffee color and durable as oak. Ash will have
a wandering grain pattern. Sometimes there may be evidence
from prior use, worm holes, peg holes (plugged), nail holes,
knots and solid voids.

|
Douglas
Fir
Flat sawn - pink to amber in color. Cathedral or flame
grain pattern. Knot sizes of 1/2 inch to 2 inches (solid)
and occasional nail holes or rust stains.
|
|
Hickory
Dark and dense on the inside heartwood; soft and light
on the sapwood. This wood will have an occasional trace
of insect scarring and nail holes. Makes for great stair
tread stock.
