This rustic, yet sleek, Buxton Barnwood Dining Table gets its inspiration from the spa town of Buxton, which is nestled in the center of the Peak District National Park in England. The town is known for its beautiful gardens and impressive Georgian and Victorian architecture, and it provides the perfect backdrop to a rich cultural scene that is full of a diverse mix of music, theatre and a variety of festivals.

MORE DETAILS ABOUT RECLAIMED BARNWOOD
The Lumber
Close to 75% percent of the raw material lumber comes from one supplier in Ohio. Two crews fell the barns, then the lumber is brought to their yard where it gets denailed, graded for color and cracks, and kiln dried. The remaining 25% of the lumber comes from other suppliers who also fell barns, but don’t have their own dry kiln. Then this lumber also gets shipped to our main supplier for denailing, grading for color and cracks, and kiln drying.
Dry Kiln Process
After the lumber is denailed and graded it gets stacked on sticks for in preparation for the dry kiln process. (The kilns used are Koetter Dry Kilns.) After the lumber is stacked in the dry kiln the temperature is set at approximately 110 degrees for the first day or two, then it goes to 120 degrees for two to three days. Then the final 140 to 150 degrees for the remaining two to three days until the lumber is at approximately 6 to 8% moisture content. The moisture content gets checked with three to five different readings throughout the lumber batch with a prong reader (not surface reader) to get the most accurate average moisture content reading.
Bugs, Termites, Insect Eggs, Fungus
Industry standard is that the internal wood temperature has to be at 130 degrees for 24 hours to kill bugs, eggs, and fungus. Our internal lumber temperature is at 135 to 145 degrees when it gets taken out of the dry kiln, to make sure there is nothing left in the lumber and is ready to be made into fine furniture.
CARE OF SOLID WOOD TABLES
- Place your furniture away from radiators, fireplaces, and heating ducts.
- Position furniture out of direct sunlight or adjust blinds to avoid hour after hour of direct sunlight.
- Control humidity to 40%–45%. In winter use a humidifier, in summer use a dehumidifier or air conditioner.
- Avoid using nail polish remover, alcohol, and other solvents near or on furniture.
- Dust carefully with a soft cloth, following the grain pattern of the wood. Use an old T-shirt, baby diaper or cheesecloth that has been laundered to remove the sizing.
ROUTINE CLEANING AND CARE
- Dust often to remove everyday abrasive particles from wood surfaces.
- Consider cleaning with a mild non-alkaline soap and water. Use the suds in a damp sponge or cloth, but be sure to pre-test the solution on an out-of-sight section to make sure it doesn’t damage the finish. Dry immediately with a soft cloth and buff lightly, following the grain.
- Don't wax or use any polish that contains any silicones! Catalyzed heat and moisture resistant finishes don’t need additional polish, but if you want to use a polish we recommend Parker & Bailey's Furniture Cleaner.
ABOUT THE BUXTON BARNWOOD COLLECTION
The Georgian and Victorian architecture that graces the town of Buxton shines through in the design of this classic dining collection, which boasts a natural feel with an elegant and light touch. The anchor piece of the set is the table, measuring 42”W x 72”L x 30”H with a 1 ⅝” solid top. The solid top is also available in lengths of 60”, 84”, and 96”, or can opt for the extendable top with skirt and leaves so that you have the perfect sized table for any occasion.
The table serves as the perfect centerpiece for this impressive collection and is pictured with a Mission Roundover edge with hand-worn corners. Made of rough sawn Barnwood oak, there are several stains to choose from, and you can add a distinctive touch by opting for one of several glazes, pictured is the #3 glaze, but you can also choose from distressed pearl, windswept, white/black or royal blue.
Pictured here, the sturdy table is surrounded by our classic Windsor side chairs that provide the perfect complement to the table’s dark stain and clean lines. If you lean towards a more rustic look, you can choose to add the Buxton bench to your seating arrangement, which measures 13”W x 72”L x 18”H, providing ample seating at your table or even used as a separate seating area in the space for after-dinner conversation.
If you need a place to store all of those serving pieces and linens, no problem! The Buxton Dining Collection offers a matching server that provides a functional and attractive addition to your dining room. If you’re looking for a natural, rustic look with a touch of elegance, then the Buxton collection is the perfect choice for your home!
YOU’RE GETTING A ONE OF A KIND
Barnwood is a unique natural resource. All furniture made of wood has its own one-of-a-kind natural quality about it—because no piece has the exact same woodgrain or color characteristics.
However, barnwood is in a unique category since it has already served one life in a barn structure somewhere in the midwestern United States before it graces your personal living space in the form of barnwood furniture. An important part of the barnwood reclamation process includes the removal of nails and any other metal that may have been inserted into the wood. Barnwood fans love rustic, however, the metal removal process may cause larger than normal holes in the final furniture piece that may adversely affect the piece’s end use. On all chair seats, all nail and knot holes are filled for a smoother user experience. On table tops and benches, you will need to request holes to be filled, if desired.
LET'S TALK RENEWABLE
THE GREEN CHOICE — Do you love the Earth?
Barnwood is a green and environmentally-friendly choice. (It is entirely reclaimed or reused wood.) Choosing furniture by built using reclaimed barnwood decreases the demand for newly harvested virgin trees. This helps preserve the countryside and all of the wildlife that inhabits it. Virgin wood involves felling, transporting, and processing which has a massive impact on the environment. Purchasing reclaimed lumber also eliminates pollution caused from the landfill burning. Investing in a piece of furniture built using reclaimed wood reduces impact every time. Choose green. Choose Barnwood.
THE STORY BEHIND BARNWOOD
The barnwood raw material used to create barnwood furniture may be between 200 and 300 years old.
There is a certain fascinating aura of mystique, mystery and awe associated with barnwood. Especially, when you consider the path a single barnwood board may have traveled. All the barnwood furniture manufactured is solid hardwood oak. Which, of course, means it started as an acorn falling from a tree. If we use a little imagination, we can end up with quite an extensive history.
Let’s take a look at barnwood history:
ca. 1750 to 1800
These years may have been the time when the acorn took root and the mighty oak began standing its ground in a forest or woodland. (This is based on the tree being 50 to 100 years old when it was cut.)
ca. 1850 to early 1900s
Barn may have been built somewhere in Eastern US by a land or livestock farmer from a mighty oak in the nearby woods or farm property.
Early 2000’s
A barn is felled and handcrafted into heirloom pieces. (The barn may have been 100 or 150 years old when felled.)
How’s that for ‘wood with a history’?
Consider all the scientific and technological developments these boards have survived.
