Our Reclaimed Wood Cabinetry: Buffets
Sunday, November 25, 2012
The majority of our reclaimed wood cabinetry is made from “grainery board”… 1” + salvaged wood that comes from inside an old Ontario barn. The primary reason we don’t use external barn boards is that they are “too far gone” in that they have a lot of beautiful distressing (ideal for siding or when backed with a plywood reinforcement); but structurally they do not have sufficient integrity to support a solid, heavy-duty, resilient cabinet.Â
Grainery boards have different distressing than say, a barn floor, but still have several unique elements. They tend to be a bit lighter [being inside, they had less exposure to sunlight/use… consequently; less patina] but also resemble very well the old-growth wood as it was in it’s original state; with a few nail holes, rodent chewing marks, and wear from seed (ect..) along the way.
Check out this buffet we made for a client in Georgetown, Ontario.
