You’ll want to take a look around this amazing barn-style house that uses agricultural timbers for its unique look. Antique agricultural timbers are reclaimed from a variety of barns, granaries, storage buildings, and other rural structures. They can be as challenging as they are extraordinary. In addition to their hand-hewn or sawn surfaces, they often have original mortise pockets, tenons, peg holes, insect marks, checking, and knots. Typical species from Pioneer Millworks Reclaimed and Sustainable Wood Products include Ash, Elm, Maple, Beech, Hickory, Oak, White Pine, Hemlock, and Douglas fir.
You can also find resawn and planed industrial timbers that are sourced from the factories the country was built on. Resawn and planed industrial reclaimed timbers have a smoother and more consistent face than their as-found counterparts. Highlighting its past life as an industrious workhorse, signs of life can include original bolt holes, nail holes, fastener marks, ferrous staining, checking, occasional knots, and others. Typical species include Heart Pine, Douglas fir, Yellow Pine, Hemlock, Eastern White Pine, Red Pine, and Oak (less frequently).
