The Reclaimed Wood Process: Turning Old Barns Into Reclaimed Wood Paneling and Flooring

Finding an old barn to reclaim locally is a rare and exciting process. We located this old barn in the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon, and began the process of carefully dismantling the structure.

Source Story: Heritage Oak

Reclaimed Spirit

The rich history of our forefathers can be felt through each plank of our Heritage Oak wood. Many Eastern farmers upon staking their claim would build and live in their barns first before building their homes. To them barns represented the farms income and where their livestock lived. In this region of the US, Oak trees were the most common tree to be found, so this is why most barns in Eastern US were constructed of either red or white oak planks. The wood from an Oak Tree is strong and hard, with a high tannin content making it resistant to both insect and fungal attack. Despite their rich legacies and strong timber frames, so many of these structures have been left empty as new generations head to the city abandoning the old family farm.

Project Log: Reclaimed Wood Wall, Barn Door & Bright Whites Fill a Cozy Cottage in Oregon

When an Ashland couple contacted Coleman Creek Construction to re-build the cozy guest cottage adjoining their southern Oregon residence, it was observed that some of the existing wood in the structure might be re-usable. A visit from Anthology Woods confirmed a considerable quantity of wood could be reclaimed, re-milled, and truly reincarnated for another life in the new structure!
