Material | Old Pine pieces are crafted from old timber reclaimed from the roof joist or flooring of old buildings. Exposure of this wood to the elements over the years has produced beautiful and weathered surfaces. The old timber from England was selected for its graining and distinctive characteristics then de-nailed, planed, and cut. The lumber is imported from England and then each piece is hand made to order in any size required. After being sanded and hand finished, the result is a finished piece which resembles a genuine antique. Each item is unique and handmade using “old world” workmanship which may cause slight differences in measurements. The minor splitting, cracking, and crazing that may occur creates the antique but spirited look that is part of the charm and appeal of these pieces. |
Color Options | 3 standard waxes, 6 standard stains, 46 standard paints. Custom colors available. |
Finishing: Wax vs. Stain | Old Pine pieces are available in a either a waxed or stained finish. There are pluses and minuses to both finishes. Since it is a wood piece, both finishes require the use of place mats, coasters, and hot pads to keep from creating water or heat marks on the surface of the piece. A waxed finish provides a rich, low luster, softer surface. The advantage of wax is you can re-wax the surface to restore the finish and cover minor wear marks. Since the wood is already distressed, the wax also tends to blend in any more significant scratches or damage. If something major happens the wax can be removed, the surface sanded, and then re-waxed. A stained surface is a tougher, more durable surface. Water marks take a lot longer to form and, since we use a water based varnish, in most cases, water marks will disappear when they dry. The disadvantage to this finish is, if the surface is scratched, it will require professional repair to fix it. Of course, since the wood is distressed to begin with, minor marks just increase the character of the table top and do not stand out. |
