It's amazing how much character you can see in natural wood. This job we fabricated a custom hemlock/cherry sliding barn door. The process required sourcing the lumber from a barn in lancaster where the cherry /hemlock was over 50 years old just stacked in a barn. We then skip planed (hit or miss) on a thickness planer to keep some of the original circle sawn milling marks. Stained with steel woll and vinegar which really brought this piece to life. Allowed to dry and finished with beeswax.
Every piece of lumber tells a story and I believe every tree could of been an old spirit of a generation long passed. If you look closely at every board you can see some sort of face inside it.
