Our Premier Product: Salvaged Barn Wood Table

Our salvaged barn wood furniture is sourced locally from a former barn in Cary, Illinois. The premier piece is a sofa table made from reclaimed Southern Yellow Pine beams. Measuring 30" high, 20" deep and 96" long with a full 2" thick top, this table is perfect for displaying cherished artwork, fresh flowers or a home-cooked feast. The hand-selected planks are lightly sanded but left otherwise unfinished which further enhances the unique character of the wood. With nicks and imperfections, this rustic farm table is ideal for the kitchen, a workspace or even the backyard on a happy, summer night.

All furniture is hand-crafted at the shop in Crystal Lake by Joe (above). Future projects include coffee tables, benches, end tables, side boards and full kitchen tables. Any size is available as they are custom crafted.
