Historic Barns Architectural Elements

Antique Beams

In the age before the Industrial Revolution and the advent of the sawmill that would forever

change the lumber industry, beams for barns, homes and other structures were hewn by hand. Giant, virgin-growth

timbers were felled by axes. Once on the ground, the hewing process began as craftsmen

squared up the logs using different types of axes.

Handmade Custom Doors

Over the years we’ve had the opportunity to work with a number of clients in designing custom doors out of antique lumber. Stable, and with the unmatched character of years of weather and wear, reclaimed lumber is a wonderful choice for creating the feel and look of your home’s entryway. All doors are constructed of premium-grade reclaimed lumber and, when appropriate, we use traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery or splines are used. All hardware used is commercial grade. As with our other doors, feel free to submit sketches or pictures of proposed door styles. Our sales team will be happy to consult with the craftsmen in the shop, make comments or recommendations on the design and submit a proposal to you.

Aged Color Options

MULTIPLE STAIN OPTIONS AVAILABLE

Weathered Grey

Pine boards left to weather in just the right direct sunlight achieve this beautiful color. There is no chemical process that can reproduce it. Uniformity is essential, so we carefully select these boards for color and consistency.

Threshing Floor

This is the central floor area in a barn where the process of threshing grain is carried out. It is made of thick floor boards that can stand the beating of a flail or treading of the ox.
Button
Rustic Roof

Whereas the exterior siding of a barn may have been replaced several times over the course of the life of a barn, these roof boards to which multiple generations of wood shingles were nailed, often date back to the original construction of the barn and so are centuries old. Their color and patina can only be achieved by long-term exposure in the loft of the barn.
Button
Crackled Red

Everyone knows that the traditional color of barns is red, but no one is absolutely certain why. The beauty of worn red paint on pine boards can only be achieved through a long aging process which includes exposing the barn pine siding boards to the sun and elements to achieve this unique combination of wear and weather.
Button
Classic Brown

The deep brown patina of this wood is not chemically reproduceable, and can only be achieved over many decades of exposure to the right combination of sunlight and air.
