Questions, answered.

Barn wood is one kind of reclaimed wood. Reclaimed also includes heart pine and oak from old floors, beams from mills and warehouses, chestnut from old farm buildings and timbers from other structures that have been taken apart and given a second life.

Old barns, tobacco sheds, mills and other buildings, mostly in Tennessee and the surrounding states, taken apart by hand so the boards survive. Each lot looks different, which is why we send full-size samples before you buy.

Boards are de-nailed, metal-scanned and dried before they are sold, which makes them much safer to cut and stable indoors. Old paint can contain lead in buildings from before 1978, so ask us about any painted board and never dry sand it.

Measure the width and height of each surface, multiply for square feet, subtract large openings and add waste: about 10 percent for straight runs and 15 to 20 percent for random widths, character grade or diagonal layouts. The calculator does the math and shows boards, bundles and board feet.

Yes. Full-size sample boards are the best way to judge color, because old wood looks different in every light. Our design and sample service puts several tones in your hands, and you can try looks in the Plank Studio first.

Walls often need only a matte clear sealer or nothing at all. Floors, counters and tables need a harder finish. Dust walls with a soft brush, clean tops with a barely damp cloth, keep indoor humidity steady and always test a finish on a spare board first.

Yes. We cut to width and length, plane or skip-plane, tongue-and-groove and mill trim, shiplap, treads and flooring, so boards arrive ready to install.

Some of it can. Dense species and well-detailed fences, pergolas, gates and porch ceilings last for years, while softer or very thin boards belong indoors. Tell us where the wood is going and we will point you to the right boards.

Hand-hewn beams were shaped with an axe or adze and show scalloped tool marks. Sawn timbers have straight saw marks and are more uniform. Faux or box beams are hollow and light, made from reclaimed boards. Structural beams need a builder or engineer to approve the size.

Yes. Trade accounts, matched lots, cut-to-size orders and scheduled deliveries make it easier for contractors, designers and hospitality projects to order and install on time.
