Barn
Siding Collection
“Barnsiding” is most often from existing or
abandoned farms with barns and outbuildings that have fallen into
disrepair have been storm damaged or have collapsed. Many times these buildings were
raised in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. The wood is
naturally weathered from wind, rain and sun and has been left unpainted,
or over time the paint has peeled away and has exposed the unprotected
wood to nature. The result
is a “Graying” effect of the wood leaving it with a rustic look.
The Barnsiding collection is preserves some of this
wood in various items. The
color and weathering varies greatly from piece to piece, but each of them
is unique and some of the features are remnants of paint, knots, holes,
mortises and nail or screw discoloration.
