Wood Types:
Our typical reclaimed, antique woods that we use for countertops, island tops and bar tops are Southern Yellow Heart Pine and American Chestnut.
But, we can also make countertops out of Red Oak, Birch, Maple or other available reclaimed woods that meet your project needs.
Heart Pine Clear: This grade combines the tight grain of quartersawn with the wider, flame-like grain of flatsawn in a clean, more formal looking countertop. This grade is mainly clear grain with very few, if any, small knots (up to 1/2") and nail holes.

Heart Pine Clear Stain Choices:
Natural- no stain (upper left); Cherry (lower left); Early American (upper right), Dark Walnut (lower right)
Heart Pine Rustic: This rustic grade contains large and small knots in addition to possibly some solid checking and nail holes for a rustic, full of character appearance. All nail holes and other voids in the wood are filled with a wood filler so the finished countertop is smooth and easy to maintain.

American Chestnut:
American Chestnut is a very unique wood because of it's history and very limited supply. Around 1904, the Chestnut blight (It is believed that a fungus was unintentionally introduced into America from Asian chestnut trees that were imported as nursery stock.) wiped out almost all of the chestnut trees (Within forty years most of the American Chestnut trees in the eastern United States were completely destroyed.). Therefore, the only practical way to get true American Chestnut today is by reclaiming the timbers from barns that are being dismantled because they are beyond repair as a useable structure. After buying these reclaimed timbers, we then de-nail them, have them re-sawn into planks and then kiln-dried to a furniture-grade moisture content of 6%-8%. Our American Chestnut typically has some worm holes, nail holes, knots and checking for a rich-in-character appearance.
