Barnwood: Domestic Hardwood
Barnwood is reclaimed material salvaged from old structures across the U.S., particularly from old barns located in the Midwest region. Material is de-nailed and kiln-dried before being sold.
Highly sought after for its character that cannot be replicated with new materials, barnwood offers a uniquely rustic look to any home or piece of furniture. This wood is often used for accent walls, sliding barn doors, and unique pieces of furniture.
