reclaimed wood shelf to keep even more of its authentic texture, character, and history.
A normal reclaimed wood shelf finish is achieved by running the barnwood through a planer set lower to remove not only the high points but also the rest of the woods skin in order to achieve a smoother and more uniformed finish. Even with this smoother finish, you will still get variations from natural checking, knots, nail holes, hand hewing, circle saw markings and worm holes.
