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 table away from radiators, fireplaces, and heating ducts.
Position table 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.
Use coasters with non-scratching bottoms. Use padding under all sharp, hot, or cold objects.
Store table leaves in close proximity to table or in the same humidity, avoid storing leaves in damp basements where the leaves may swell.
Avoid using nail polish remover, alcohol, and other solvents near or on table.
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 STRETFORD BARNWOOD COLLECTION

Amish Barnwood Stretford Dining Set (Available Quick Shipped)

Stretford is a town in Trafford, Greater Manchester, England that began as a successful agricultural village, pulling nature’s bounty from the land until the arrival of the soon to be tried-and-true town as industry paved the way into the future.

The stunning wood and furniture design that is showcased in the Stretford dining collection makes you imagine walking into a medieval home or castle and being blown away by the gorgeous exposed beam ceilings. Stretford is also home to the famous Manchester United Football Club, so it is fitting that the substantial table that serves as the impressive centerpiece for this collection suggests friends and family gathering around to cheer on their favorite teams and enjoy a pint or two.

The 1 ⅝” solid top table, pictured here in a clear stain and with mission round over edges and hand-worn corners, is a true masterpiece. The rough sawn oak barnwood impresses and the table is available in a variety of lengths including 60”, 72”, 84” or 96”. You can also opt for the extendable table top which comes in lengths from 54” to 72” and includes several different options for leaves and skirts.

You’ll have plenty of seating for all of the fans at your next gathering when you surround your table with the matching Stretford arm and side chairs. If you have more visitors than expected, just pull up the Stretford bench that reflects the same design as the table and is available in 48”, 60”, 72”, 84” or 96”. If you need some extra storage space to hide away your party supplies, the server and hutch from our Edinburg Collection are the perfect complements to this striking set.

If you like the natural look in your home, with a nod to medieval lines and rustic touch of elegance, then the Stretford dining collection has what you are looking for!

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.
