The reclaimed wood we use in our furniture
and cabinetry comes to us from a variety of
sources--barnboard
from the dry Western States where the sun and wind work to create
unique colors and textures, old floor
joists hidden for a century beneath an early Seattle building
which might be brought back as a tabletop, or even timbers from
an abandoned gold mine in Eastern Washington. Thick redwood staves
of an ancient water tank were used to create the pews for a new
church here on Orcas Island.
We have developed
many sources for beautiful antique lumber and are often called
by our suppliers to tell us when they have an unusual find.
A large supply of this wood is kept on hand for our own furniture
and for sales to contractors for wide plank flooring and
millwork. Recently we sold a quantity of barnboard chosen for
its weathered red paint, to be used as wall paneling in its natural
state.
