Reclaimed Barnwood Doors

Sourced from old buildings, barns, and granaries, Reclaimed Barnwood is a mix of Red and White Oak. Its distinctive antique look includes both textured and planed surfaces, unusual grain patterns, saw-tooth etchings, nail holes, insect scarring and other distinguishing character marks. Reclaimed Barnwood’s unique appearance brings a warm, rustic charm to any project.

This one-of-a-kind entrance, built for a project in Tucson, Arizona, features a single reclaimed barnwood panel, finished in clear coat, and complemented with White Ash stiles and rails, finished in Sun Mountain’s Rio Grande Glaze. Along with this distinct mixture of wood species, the door also features a speakeasy, further adding to its rustic appeal.

Reclaimed Barnwood is just one of the many wood options that Sun Mountain offers. Many species can also be further designated by “grade,” such as “knotty” (sometimes called “character”) or “select” (clear, with few or no knots). Additionally, unique effects can be achieved on certain species by special “cuts” of the logs, such as “rift” and “quarter” cuts.
