The wood is cleaned, kiln-dried and made into reclaimed furniture. The wood is rich with age and character and has its own unique history. Reclaimed wood has a story to tell.<\/p>\n<p>Characteristics of reclaimed furniture include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Marks that may include knot holes, worm holes, sun spots and nail holes<\/li>\n<li>Appearance of knots where tree branches intersected the tree trunk<\/li>\n<li>An eco friendly nature as the wood is locally sourced and salvaged from old barns<\/li>\n<li>The use of barn beams<\/li>\n<li>Durability and strength<\/li>\n<li>Weathering and wear throughout the years that results in one-of-a-kind pieces<\/li>\n<li>An authentic character<\/li>\n<li>A unique story<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reclaimed furniture is a rustic style itself. Initially, all the natural flaws like nail holes and worm holes are left open. There are various finishing processes and techniques woodworkers can use to fill holes including epoxy or special fittings they can do for a smoother finish. But the markings and aged appearance will remain. Often, owners choose to leave the holes open to preserve the character of the wood.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Hall-Tree-300x236.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Hall-Tree-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Hall-Tree.jpg 764w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Amish Reclaimed Barnwood Hall Tree<\/h5>\n<p>A close up of the reclaimed wood used for the Amish Reclaimed Barnwood Hall Tree shows a variety of nail holes, knots and sun spots that come with reclaimed furniture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rustic-Barnwood-Wardrobe-198x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Rustic Barnwood Wardrobe\" width=\"400\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rustic-Barnwood-Wardrobe-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rustic-Barnwood-Wardrobe-768x1166.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rustic-Barnwood-Wardrobe-675x1024.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rustic-Barnwood-Wardrobe.jpg 1265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pid_56043-Rustic-Barnwood-Armoire-200-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Rustic Barnwood Wardrobe shows off its natural knots and markings.\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pid_56043-Rustic-Barnwood-Armoire-200-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pid_56043-Rustic-Barnwood-Armoire-200-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pid_56043-Rustic-Barnwood-Armoire-200.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">A Rustic Barnwood Wardrobe is strong and natural bedroom storage.<\/h5>\n<h2>Distressing for Rustic Furniture<\/h2>\n<p>Distressing techniques are a great option for creating a time-worn aged look.
