Our plank base option is our simplest, completely straight-lines option; with pioneer barnwood distressing kept. See pics below of a project we did in this option: Continue reading →

If you’d like to feel the old distressing, our polyurethane finish [no epoxy/clearcoat filling] may be the best option. With the old distressing not being filled; the table top will be more difficult to clean. For a rustic cottage in particular it may fit the decor better. Check out this northern Ontario cottage harvest table project: 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 barn wood / boards have tons of authentic character. This is a result of years of aging and pioneer work done on them. Continue reading →

We keep nearly all the original distressing in the old Ontario we use; which means tops are pretty rough at the unfinished stage. Most of our customers opt for our regular clearcoat epoxy; which will still follow the wood. To feel the character more, although less practical; consider our medium thickness epoxy option. See below for a project done this way: 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!

All our Ontario barnwood tables are locally built in Woolwich, Ontario; finished in our shops in Cambridge, Ontario. Check out this trestle table project: Continue reading →

All our tables can extend up to 18″ at either end [total 3 ft extra]. Given the amount of distressing we maintain, center leaves wouldn’t be practical, so we only extend at the ends. We do the leaves in full thickness of the table top; they slide in on heavy duty hardwood rails at the ends. Check out this barnwood trestle table project with extensions: Continue reading →

We offer a U Shaped metal base option; custom built to a proportionate size for any table top. For this project, we did a distressed steel version. The reclaimed hemlock barnwood table top contrasts nicely with the industrial style base. See pics below! Continue reading →

We maintain the original distressing in the old Ontario barnwood we use, while making practical with modern clearcoat finishing. We design everything around the way it came out of the old barn. Within the frame style, which tends to vary a lot one project to another depending on customer preferences, we take this approach as well. Check out this modified reclaimed wood table with a frame base with a bench we made for a customer. See pics below: Continue reading →
