A bit about our company & also a bit of me….
What do you do Steve? I tell ‘em...“I sell ole wood”
A Sunday afternoon journey takes me far up the mountain, ending on a gravel drive & hiking the last mile to the ridge. I’m looking at an average circa 1890-1920 barn structure; quite-large. Inside it stands a 26’ x 13’ cabin structure, upwards of 16’ with hand-hewn 15”-22” face log-members…. A pioneering family homestead...circa 1800.
My wheels start turning…
Rusty Tin… amazing patinas! I flatten it like a pancake and hand-sand; revealing gold-reds-browns-greens…, entomb w/non-gloss poly. wall/ceiling coverings, wainscot, poly-coated bar tops, backsplash…
Rafters/joists… beefy/thick material, awesome stair treads, furniture, ladders, doors…
Loft/stall board… brown in patina & wide! wall/ceiling paneling, T&G flooring #1, table-tops…
Weathered outside walls… grays and reds abound, hand-select for character-patina, kiln dry, straight-edge, back-plane, wire-brush… walls and ceilings, doors, wainscot –OR- mold into T&G flooring #2…
Posts & Beams… sawn/hewn 6”-12”, reconstructed home, structural, decorative, furniture, mantels, re-saw into 1” blanks & mold into T&G flooring #1 …
As my mind stops wandering up on the ridge, I gaze for miles at His Glory!
...and to share these Blessings with you…what a joy!
