New Load

This is what the wood looks like when it arrives at the shop... looks like a pile of garbage... funny how the things we consider to be worthless, are some of the most beautiful things in life.. hmmmmm... :)

Finished Dining Room Suite!

Well, we promised that we would post pictures of this set when it was finished. Here it is. Finished and delivered to it's home in Alberta. The chairs were covered in leather hide to give the set an even more rustic look - they turned out amazing!!! Hard to believe that this set is made from hundreds of individual pieces of barnwood!

Murphy Beds

I know this isn't barnwood, but I'll be adding some other furniture pieces we have built. We were asked to build two Murphy Beds this winter. One was to be a queen size with side cabinets, the other was to fit a double bed. The cabinets on either side of the queen bed were to house tables that would fold out. The customer was going to use them as as her sewing tables. Underneath the tables was more storage for her extra supplies. What a great way to make extra room in that guest bedroom that rarely gets used!!

Chairs

Barnwood/ Stone finished columns

Last week we built these columns for a family in Winnipeg. They turned out amazing! (We didn't do the brick around the bottom, just the barnwood tops)

Barnwood Mantel

A wonderful couple asked to have a barnwood mantel built. They wanted a beam stained DARK to match their trim and left as rustic as possible. It turned out AMAZING!! Great job on the brick you guys!!

Rough wood

Here are some pics of the rough wood. Lots of knots in the wood and TONS of character. Ever piece is unique!

Barnwood Tables

Here are some examples of tables we have built in the last few months. They are all built using mortise and tenon joints. Each table is custom built and can be stained to a color that suits your decor.

Barnwood Sales Counter

We were asked by the owners of Hillside Greenhouses to build them a new sales counter. We had their existing cabinetry as a base but the rest was left up to us... hmmm, an opportunity to be creative! We added vertical barnwood pieces around the entire bottom of the counter as well as on the privacy wall. We kept them rough to give them an authenitic barnwood look. We sanded the countertop smooth and gave it a natural finish. Be sure to check it out this summer when you get ready to fill your gardens with plants from Hillside Greenhouse!

We used existing cabinetry from their previous renovation, painted them black and built a backpiece, countertop and privacy wall.
