Some of our customers prefer to feel the original distressing of the wood, while still having the practicality of a durable/waterproof finish. It’s a delicate balance between practicality and feeling the wood [the wood being rougher will make glasses less level; a bit tricker to clean]. For this we recommend our light coating/filling epoxy option. Check out this modern reclaimed wood table project we did with this option!

Old Growth Pine is a lot different than new pine. In original natural Ontario forests the trees would grow taller rather than wider [although wider as well] so the grain was tight. New pine is commercially grown so the trees are space further apart [allowing for more sunlight] so the trees grows a lot quicker. Since noone is going to wait 100 years to harvest their bush there won’t be wood like this ever again, especially combined with the pioneer distressing. This Mississauga customer opted for old growth pine for their reclaimed wood harvest table project:

We offer several different options for mennonite built chairs. While not made out of reclaimed [with the amount of distressing we maintain and how “shaped/milled” chairs need to be building out of barnwood just wouldn’t be practical]. Therefore we source the building of our chairs [not finishing] from a very capable local builder in Wallenstein. This customer opted for our plank back chair design for their reclaimed wood dining table set: Continue reading →

All our furniture is custom built from scratch, so there are a lot of modifications that can be made in our designs.
