Barn Wood Carpentry

Master Bath hook rack and shelf unit made with old barn wood.
Old barn wood is one of the most fun and aesthetically pleasing mediums to work with; as imperfections become assets and applications are almost infinite. When we cut holes in the barn across the street for windows two years ago and swapped out older doors for new, we stashed the wood in a shed for later use. Well, the future is now. Circular and table saws provided all the cuts necessary to make the following rustic pieces:


Sliding barn-style door used for master bath.
Dining alcove wall (done several years ago, utilizing different barn wood).
