Weathered Timbers offer another very rustic
timber option. The timbers will have aged either out in the elements
for heavy texture and patina or inside a structure for a light texture
and usually heavy patina. The color will range from gray to brown
and there will be plenty of evidence to show the woods previous
use.
- Specie: Most often Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)
- Source: Mostly industrial buildings.
- Moisture: As-is
- HC/FOHC: Most sizes are Heart Center; some smaller sizes
can be FOHC.
- Holes: Will vary substantially from one source to another
- Surface: Interior aged or weathered
- Sizes: Vary depending upon current inventory.
- Weight: Typically, 3 pounds per board foot
- Stability: Reclaimed timbers shrink, warp and twist in
their previous use. There should be very little, if any, movement
in weathered timbers
The unique distinctiveness of a reclaimed wood
product is generally what makes it so desirable. Although we may provide
a sample, photograph or description of a particular type of wood product
as an example to demonstrate the general characteristics of that type
of product, such sample, photograph or description may not necessarily
be representative of the product actually delivered due to the great
variability in color, grain, texture, sign of previous use, etc. |
