Antique Barnwood
Antique Barnwood is one of the most abundant sources of reclaimed wood. It is a unique product aged for decades by wind, sun, and rain. It ranges in age from 200 to 600 years. The aging process has given Barnwood a range of colors, from different shades of gray and brown to faded red. Shades of gray and brown are mixed. And, the shades of red vary from barn to barn due to the different brands of paint used. Barnwood will have occasional knots, nail holes, slight cracks, and stains. All damaged areas greater than 2 mm are either cut out or filled with dark epoxy.
When Barnwood is skip-planed or sanded, its surface appearance changes. As the amount of surface material is reduced, the aged patina reveals itself. Then, when an appropriate finish is applied, the gorgeous aged patina comes alive. This process results in a unique appearance that will make any design stand out.
