We keep the original edges the way they came out of the old barn. Not live edge, or cut edge, the edges really show the authentic Ontario barnwood distressing. Check out this reclaimed wood harvest table we made for a customer: Continue reading →

The way we get the unique look of our tables is keeping nearly all the original distressing from historic Ontario barns. The older distressing in a board gets, the darker it gets. This is why the distressing in our tops is black; as it is so old. This can’t be done artificially created. Check out this reclaimed wood harvest table we made for a customer: Continue reading →

Our bleached option keeps the light colour of unfinished; but cuts out all the brown [no stain, just clearcoat finish]. Check out this reclaimed wood harvest table we made for a customer with this option: Continue reading →

Our reclaimed wood harvest tables are custom built to any size/style/finish. The finish is this case was a thick polyurethane finish, with no filling of the old distressing with epoxy. This works in some cases where the customer is okay with the top being substantially rough.

This harvest table customer opted for this option: Continue reading →

For harvest tables, it’s best to go foot shorter to fit between the table legs [4″ inset for windbrace beam legs; 2″ leg inset] . Continue reading →

Old growth [original Ontario forest] Hemlock is a rare sight. In Pioneer times, it wasn’t. We see it in plentiful amount of it in old barns. Generally not used in furniture [brittle, slivery, tough to work with]; we get away with it with our modern clearcoat finish. Check out this reclaimed wood harvest table project we did!
