Before After. Removing the slaked lime (Calcium Hydroxide) off the slab reveals the amazing tone of the original wood. This piece is 1/2 of a beam (6” x 14” x 28’) and would have been milled in the 1840s. The parent beam was part of the historical Ontario Woolen Mills in Cobourg, Ontario. At that time, in 1846, the mill was the largest woolen mill in British North America. . Last photo found via the Cobourg Museum Foundation site. .

Albrecht Stool. Rafter beam offcuts and some gnarled thresher floor made for GW from pieces of her family barn we salvaged. . This is a design we have made previously which is inspired by the logo of the 14th century artist, Albrecht Dürer, who was a painter, printmaker and theorist of the German Renaissance. . #furnituredesign #barnsalvage #handmadefurniture #barnharvest #retrohandmade #retrorewind #smallbusiness #retrorewindstore #barnwood (at Northumberland County, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgS6jnZulnO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Vintage Architectural. All reclaimed lumber from the Codrington area. The main beam is 140+ years old and at 20’ - 10” x 10” it was a heavy lift. The 9’ centre post part of the same beam section. The gable arches are 3” x 6” reclaimed rafter beams cut to a 8:12 pitch. All made-to-measure for this beautiful new build in Trent Hills. . #archtectualdesign #barnsalvage #handmade #barnharvest #retrohandmade #retrorewind #smallbusiness #retrorewindstore #barnwood #barnbeams #meyersburg #northumberlandcounty #handmade (at Northumberland County, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcB1N9uOJ4g/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finishing Touches. Always my fav part when we standout the barnwood to a smooth finish. Satin clear coat and 150 & 220 sanding so it’s smooth to the touch but maintains the character of the vintage lumber. . #furnituredesign #barnsalvage #handmadefurniture #barnharvest #retrohandmade #retrorewind #smallbusiness #retrorewindstore #barnwood #destinationcramhe #castleton #gocramahego (at Northumberland County, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWPIdpFMu0I/?utm_medium=tumblr

Gable Beams. Challenging but super fun to make this matching set. All the lumber came from the same rafters & wind brace beams. It was a team effort with M&S to get this result. . #design #decor #barnsalvage #handmadefurniture #barnharvest #retrohandmade #retrorewind #smallbusiness #retrorewindstore #barnwood #destinationcramhe #castleton #gocramahego (at Northumberland County, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVWbZnwMVt6/?utm_medium=tumblr
