barnwood
Weathered farm timber
Barnwood is weathered wood reclaimed from old barns, valued for its aged appearance and rustic character.
The natural patina from decades of exposure makes it popular for furniture, accent walls, and decorative projects: The restaurant featured barnwood paneling throughout.
Often sold at premium prices despite—or because of—its imperfections.
