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.

Reclaiming Wood For Furniture

Recently we took down a barn right here in Waseca, MN, just minutes from our shop. This will allow us to continue to create our reclaimed wood furniture from this antique barnwood. This barn was built circa 1932 according to the land owner who lived on this property when she was a child. There is a lot of great wood here. In the next few days, we will be able to post some pictures of the wood close up but for now we thought we would show you the fun video that our friend Ed took of the frame coming down.

We have our trailers packed full with several loads of these old barnboards, and a few more loads to go until the whole works is cleaned up. Most of the barn wood which is heart pine, is in fantastic shape! Chris keeps talking about what he is going to make in the shop with all of this wood, so stay tuned for some new pictures of his latest furniture creations.

Chris also has a lot of orders currently, so our turn around time right now is approx 4-6 weeks, however this also will depend on the size of the order and other variables such as the actual project requested.

More pictures will follow but for now enjoy the show! We sure did!!!

Your satisfaction should be first priority when it comes to the decisions that are made between you and your contractor, and your preferences should take priority at all times. If there are questions or concerns please feel free to contact us and communicate them, because we at Vienna Woodworks are the best qualified to answer questions about our products, what we can provide, and the time frame that we can provide products.

Very Sturdy, Very Rustic and Very Unique

Designed and Built By Christopher Wiener

My husband Chris, the owner of Vienna Woodworks Rustic Furniture Co in Waseca, MN loves making these bent branch beds or twig beds as they are sometimes called. Chris does not like calling these beds twig beds because he feels that the word "twig" does not truly represent them, as thicker, stronger bent braches are actually used. He goes through our Very Large pile of logs and bent branches and selects the parts, and as he describes it, puts them together, like a puzzle. Building rustic furniture takes more than just knowing how to run equipment and follow a plan. There is a great deal of creativity and artistic talent involved in making unique pieces of furniture that are not only pleasant to the eye but also functional and well crafted. More often than not, the end result is the product of his vision and internal planning. Besides using standard measurements for certain pieces of rustic furniture, there usually are no paper plans involved. Chris' blend of talents for both creativity and building furniture have resulted in some products that have a very natural look to them. These bent branch log beds are an excellent example of the unique qualities that Chris' furniture has, which are available through Vienna Woodworks Rustic Furniture Company.

Log Beds Minnesota Made - ON SALE!

Log Beds by Vienna Woodworks

Over the past eight years, we have added several styles of log beds to our collection of rustic log furniture. Our standard log beds are one of our biggest sellers, and they are available in regular and small spindle styles, double cross piece headboards, half log side rails, arched and sunburst. We also make a lot of log bunk beds, a popular option for many cabin and lake home owners who want to conserve space.

Log beds can be made with northern white cedar, hickory, juniper and pine. We are open to your specific design requests, and our prices are extremely reasonable. In addition to the traditional log beds that we offer, we also make log slab beds, mission style beds and barnwood beds. Pricing can be found at our website at http://www.viennawoodworks.com/logbeds.html.

Many different photos of our log beds and matching case goods can be viewed at our photo gallery http://cid-d2d54cc0231026eb.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Rustic%20Portfolio

Here you will find several of the different ways that these beds can be constructed. We have many unique rustic furniture pieces in the gallery.

All beds are made to be safe, strong and sturdy, and complete sets come with side rails that easily snap together to join headboard and footboard. They are first buffed and sanded to be smooth and beautiful, and once carefully assembled and tested for safety, finished with several clear coats of furniture grade catalyzed lacquer to protect and enhance the natural grain and knots in the wood. If you want to use a box spring, that won't be a problem at all. However, it is not necessary to use one as we can provide you with the slats that will support your mattress as well. We also provide a mattress support for queen, king and california king sizes, which addes extra support to the middle portion of the mattress.

It is also possible to purchase the log headboard only, so if you would like to go with this option, just let us know and we will provide you with a price quote. The headboards can be easily attached to a traditional bed frame, which has been a popular option for many resorts and hotels that we have worked with in the past.

Currently our cedar and hickory log beds are on sale! Check out the great prices in our rustic furniture web store - you will not be disappointed. Our prices may be lower than our competition but we guarantee that the quality and the value of our furniture is not!!!!

Reclaimed Barnwood

Reclaiming a part of the past

We are in the process of taking down this barn in Waseca, MN, which was built in 1919. The roof is leaking, and the structure is compromised, so rather than let this piece of history deteriorate any further, we are taking it down piece by piece in order to save the beautiful old wood.

This wood will be stored in our storage facility so that we can use it to continue building the many different pieces of furniture that we have been creating in our shop.
Last week while we were taking off the shingles, a man stopped by and told us that he would like us to take his old barn down before winter. It's pretty exciting to be able to have such local access to this beautiful wood. Although it is a lot of work, it is time well spent!

Our collection of barn wood furniture is growing every week, and will hopefully continue to grow based on the many requests for custom orders that we receive. We have done several barnwood kitchen cabinet projects this summer, and have also been working on a few reclaimed wood flooring projects in addition to the other rustic furniture that we are currently building.

More pictures and updates will be added as our project progresses!
