Straight Edge
Varieties
Reclaimed wood is often recovered in a variety of widths and thicknesses and may have significant splits, compromised edges, etc. that can make it difficult to work with and install. To make these desirable materials more user-friendly, we “straight line rip” the boards to widths from 4” and up, then “back plane” them to a consistent 3/4” thickness. By straight lining, we make these desirable materials both easy to use and attractive.
Brown Board
Our Brown Board is most often the back side of barn siding or rough sawn interior boards that have a rich brown patina. Some boards are what we refer to as “rough back” and some are “smooth back”. Rough back boards frequently exhibit saw marks, while smooth back boards feature a pleasant aged patina.. Most will include some nail holes and other forms of man-made or natural character

Naily Wood
Our Naily Wood served a former life as vintage roof boards that featured wooden shakes, often followed by other types of roofing. We often find multiple wood species, odd sizes and various thicknesses used for roofing boards on older buildings. The multitude of small shake nails and larger asphalt shingle or steel roofing nails contribute significantly to the rustic character of these boards.
We invest the time to pull all those hundreds of nails, then straight line rip and back plane the boards, making them much more user friendly - because we know you love our Naily Wood as much as we do!
Note: In addition to using our Naily Wood for accent walls and ceilings, many of our customers us it for base trim and for window and door casings.
