A Closer Look at our Favourite Raw Material: Reclaimed Threshing Floor Boards<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I named this company after this raw material and have frequently had the question – what is threshing floor? The simple answer is furniture made from threshing floor boards. What are “threshing floor” boards? Any old barn floor in Ontario has threshing floor boards. It is an industry term that describes barn floors. They floors are ‘threshing floors’ because of their historical use; namely the separating (“threshing”) of grain from a stalk. The threshing floor boards not only have the thickness (around) 2″ for a solid, heavy duty table top, they also are the most exposed boards in a barn – to whatever might have occurred in a barn over the course of a century. They maximize sturdiness and distressing – making them our favorite part of old barn. See below for lots of pictures of threshing floor boards in their raw form (before we start to work with them). Our goal is that nearly all the distressing you see here in the raw form is kept through to the final product!<\/p>\n
