The distinct coloring and shading, along with the markings from the past, are part of the beauty and character of Reclaimed Barnwood. The longer the Barn Wood Siding is in storage, the more authentic the siding becomes. You can view many different types of this siding by looking through several websites on the Internet.
Many barn woods in TN are now in short supply due the over consumption of the slow-growing timbers. Barn wood trees generally are anywhere from 80 – 150 years old and upwards when they are harvested whereas plantation softwood can be harvested in around 20 years. The hard barn wood has been replaced by softwoods that in many cases are finger-jointed. Finger-jointed timber is made by splicing small pieces of timber together with a zig-zag style joint.

Folks are welcome to come by & plan their project with me. I build quality rustic furniture that looks good and will last for years. It turned out perfect, exactly what we hoped for.
However, in staining you don’t have to be concerned about the integrity of the wood, as the staining will only show off the imperfections that make it beautiful. All of our Barn Wood Dressers have seven drawers that come in standard or dovetail options. I absolutely love it and I have already received so many complements from others. We were pleasantly surprised by an early arrival.
Barnwood Living Room Furniture
If a specific piece is not available or cannot be found, artists now have the opportunity to custom make whatever style is necessary to complement a house’s interior design. Wood wall décor such as wood paneling is an easy to install and inexpensive way to add youthfulness and beauty to your home. Outdated walls can cause the home to appear old and outdated. Paneling can be used in any room of the home to add life and dimension.
Barn wood Furniture really does have a multitude of functions and is an excellent decor option for really any home or cabin. There is always a way to include it in the style or theme of your current home or cabin. After working in construction for over twenty-five years, Eddie and his brothers were feeling the effects of an economic slump. With work being slow he worked on various projects in his back yard shed. One day, a friend stopped by with a load of barn wood on his truck and told Eddie he thought maybe he could use it for something. Eddie told him, “If nothing else, I can always use it for kindling.
If the barn boards were the same when it was built, they do not remain the same as they weather and age. I also learned that each board must be inspected for soundness to make sure it will be strong enough to last. I have had to destroy barn wood that was found to be rotten or damaged beyond use.
My secretary told me that I better go for it for free advertising and that she thought it was interesting. The student came up one day and spent several hours recording me doing various things. I was supposed to say, “I’m Eddie Abernathy, owner of Barn Wood Furniture, and this is my Alabama life.” It took me five tries to just say that one sentence! He later told me that his instructor thought the video with me was one of his favorites and that made me feel rather good. Then she called to tell me they wanted me to appear on their show.
