Images of the skip-planed wood shown are a representation of the piece you will receive. Keep in mind, these are authentic reclaimed pieces of wood so no two are the same!

What's Included?
Solid reclaimed skip-planed wood beam, bracket mounts and hardware are included. The backs are routed out for the brackets but pre- drilled holes for the brackets are NOT included. You will simply need to drill out holes in the back of the product. The holes should correspond with the bracket location on the walls. This requires a 1/2" drill bit. When you upgrade to our Heavy Duty Floating Shelf Brackets, handcrafted in Pennsylvania, the holes are pre-drilled for an easy installation.

Wood Origin
These skip-planed wood beams are sourced from historic barns throughout the Eastern United States dating from the 1700's to the early 1900's. Popular locations include Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Ohio and Kentucky.

Characteristics
Each and every shelf is unique with many grain variations, knots, checking, worm holes, nail holes, etc.

Wood coloring can change dramatically when finishes are applied. For example, we have many pine pieces that appear brown when oiled. We also have many that will look reddish when oiled. Yellow pine tends to end up more reddish, and white pine looks brownish but that is not always the case. Other factors that impact appearance are the age of the piece, the environment in which it spent its life, and the overall condition.

Dimensions
4 inch thickness x 8 inch depth x 36 – 84 inch width (custom sizes available)

Thickness and depth can vary up to 1/2 inch but are generally within 1/4 inch

Finish Options
Linseed oil, Early American stain (medium brown), Unfinished suitable for shellac or polyurethane (cut ends are finished to blend into natural color)

If you order more than one we will do our best to match if requested. We will also make any custom piece for you, simply contact us!

The first settlers in America used materials on hand to construct buildings. Today, individuals love to make use of this reclaimed wood when building or remodeling a residence or office. The history of the piece adds to the ambiance of the area. The wood used in this manner comes from barns, stables, mills, and more, and many pieces are hundreds of years old. What makes this wood truly unique and highly coveted?

Reclaimed hand-hewn lumber pieces are truly one of a kind. The different species underwent decades of weathering and wear to obtain their current appearance. As a result, each piece is unique, and the wood varies by where it was first obtained. The settlers never discriminated when it came to the wood used for the structure, so a person could find many varieties of reclaimed wood all coming from the same region.

Additionally, reclaimed wood typically offers more variations that are no longer seen in wood species. For instance, as trees in the past were allowed to grow to their full height, the rings observed in this timber tend to be wider than seen in newer pieces. These pieces often have more knots and other markings that make the piece unique and give it charm.

If a person is fortunate enough to know where the wood came from, the piece becomes an interesting topic of conversation. When someone asks about the hand-hewn lumber, the owner can not only explain what it is but also provide information on where it came from and what makes it special. That doesn’t happen with pieces that are mass produced today.
