Barn Wood Dresser Four Drawer

Barn Wood Dresser, Four Drawer

Part of our weekend delivery, this four drawer reclaimed barnwood dresser turned out quite nicely. I was very happy with the work that Chris and the helpers in the shop did on this piece. The pulls really make the piece in my opinion. Of course that's just my opinion, and I am sure there are many other choices out there for pulls that would look fantastic as well.

One of my current projects is to create a hardware sample board, where I would be able to enable customers to better visualize how different types of hardware would look on their drawer fronts and doors. I hope to have this project completed by the end of 2009, so that we can better serve our customers and help them make more informed purchasing choices.

We always welcome the ideas of our customers and many of them have discovered hardware that has complemented our reclaimed furniture pieces so well. We have really enjoyed the part of customer service that allows us to work together with our customers to provide them with pieces that are unique and that allow them to provide input which really makes them our design partners. Based on the results, we often have extremely happy customers who express their satisfaction to us when the final product is delivered.

Reclaimed Barnwood Doors

This weekend's delivery consisted of several pieces of furniture as well as a number of reclaimed barnwood interior doors. These barnwood doors are all pre-hung and ready to be installed, with hinges included. We make it convenient for our customers, and work with them to pick out hinges that they prefer to use in their rustic decor.

Doors can be custom made to fit any size door opening, and different styles are available as well. Most customers provide us with sketches if they want something different, and we are more than happy to comply.

As with all of our reclaimed wood furniture, our doors are sanded smooth, however, we try to leave as much rustic character in them as possible. The majority of the reclaimed wood that we work with is heart pine from barns and buildings that are over a century old. Heart pine is very dense, unlike the new pine that is found in today's lumber yards. This makes it much harder, allowing it to withstand the test of time. The rings in this old wood are very close together, which is why it is a harder wood than modern pine, and is also why this wood looks very much like nothing that you will ever find in the future. It would take hundreds of years of growing to produce anything that would come even close to resembling this beautiful and rare wood.

Reclaimed wood is a piece of the past, and it is very satisfying to be able to salvage a part of history and transform it into something that will live on for future generations.
