The Warmth of Reclaimed Wood with Aged Patina  

Dark browns, blacks and espresso tones bring a real sense of warmth to a space. Wood, as it ages and is distressed, brings on these tones in large measure. The reason we love reclaimed wood so much is it has been in this process for a century! All it takes is a bit of clear coat finish – no stain – to pull put these rich tones. Obviously, any lathed/cut parts need to be stained or they would be way too light (given the patina only goes so deep). Apart from that, we avoid staining as much as absolutely possible. For some reason, natural wood tends to look good no matter where it goes and is timeless. As soon as you stain everything becomes way more complicated, as you have to worry about matching and stains being discontinued. It seems as soon as staining is involved all requirements -in terms of the space – start down a road of everything needing to become more and more specific over time, limiting options. I once delivered to a new home that had over 15 different types of wood utilized – from posts to flooring to ceiling boards – in many different colored woods. However, nothing was stained – just a simple clear-coat. Surprisingly.. it worked! It did not seem like over-kill of wood or too gaudy.

Reclaimed has the broadest range of natural tones out there. This makes it perfect for pulling in the broadest range of tones from everywhere in a space and acting as a centerpiece.

This table (see below) is a great example of our most typical tables. This table and bench was made for a beautiful home in Pickering, Ontario.
