VOLVER RESTAURANT FEATURING RIVERBED WHITE OAK

Volvér (which means “to return”) opened its doors inside the Kimmel Center April of 2014. The restaurant features a chic bar and intimate dining area, and showcases the culinary talents of one of the country’s leading chefs and restaurateurs, Jose Garces.
Marguerite Rodgers Ltd. designed the serene and welcoming space, incorporating our RIVERBED white oak flooring into the final design. The firm is often praised for its incredible attention to composition and detail.

RIVERBED features our original cut white oak. original cut is a way of cutting the log that incorporates plain sawn, rift sawn and quarter sawn grain patterns and all grades and character marks into the final product. common character marks include knots, checks, streaks and worm holes. RIVERBED is prefinished with matte polyurethane.

WIDE PLANK :: flooring

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In Product Updates /  

WIDE PLANK FLOORING

wide plank flooring is a timeless and elegant flooring feature commonly found within late 19th century homes. due to the advanced age of trees during this time, thicker trunks provided ready access to wide planks. while almost all types of wood can be milled this way, the thinner, younger trees we see today do not lend as well to this type of flooring, making wide plank flooring less common.

reSAWN provides a wide plank option in almost all of our flooring designs. Most of our designs are available up to 8″ wide with some available up to 10″ wide – please contact us to inquire about a specific design. these wider cut boards reveal even more of the wood’s natural beauty as the uninterrupted grains and patterns flow seamlessly through the plank.

RECLAIMED BEAMS

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In Product Updates /  

RECLAIMED BEAMS from reSAWN TIMBER co.

rough sawn and hand-hewn reclaimed oak and pine beams serve not only as unique feature pieces, but also come with a rich and varied history. this aged wood is ideal for the creation of rustic mantles, shelving, structural posts, and trusses.

reSAWN provides beautiful, reclaimed barn beams in the raw – including original hand-hewn pieces. hand-hewing is the process of transforming a tree trunk into a squared up beam. traditionally the broad-axe was used for scoring and for hewing larger pieces of lumber.

Reclaimed beams go thru the typical reclaimation process of denailed and power washing. no finish is needed for this wood since it has been naturally oxidized over the years to produce a tough, weather resistant “skin”. common character marks include circle sawn kerf, mineral staining, color changes, weathering, checking, nail holes, knots, notched out pockets and heavy patina. thicknesses tend to vary slightly.

FLOORING and INTERIOR WALL/CEILING CLADDING

 

 

BARK SIDE features a compilation of six nature-inspired designs in colors ranging from a crisp, snowy white to a dark, dusky gray. the name of the collection and the textured surface of the material was inspired by the horizontal ridges, known as lenticels, that are seen on the bark of species such as birch and black cherry.

the BARK SIDE designs are sustainably sourced, original cut white oak with a textured surface and are prefinished with our hardwax oil. the original cut incorporates plain sawn, rift sawn and quarter sawn grain patterns and all grades and character marks into the final product. in each design you will find common character marks including knots, checks, streaks and worm holes. our hardwax oil is natural, non-toxic and 100% VOC-free, and produces a durable, matte finish that respects the natural look and feel of the wood.

spotlight project :: UPPER MAKEFIELD FARM

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In Product Installs, Product Updates /  

In historic UPPER MAKEFIELD township sits a sprawling farm, sprinkled with welcoming cottages, a renovated barn and a cozy main house. the nearly century-old buildings have been completely gutted, yet speak to the rich history of the area. Upper Makefield Township is memorialized as the turning point of the American Revolution at Washington Crossing Historic Park, aptly named for the Christmas evening George Washington led American forces across the Delaware River in 1776.  Callaghan Interior Design, a PA-based firm with over 30 years of design experience, is leading this restoration project and specified several of reSAWN’s designs for flooring, wall cladding, and custom millwork:

FLOORING:
WORMWOOD reclaimed chestnut flooring is featured throughout the classic country-inspired cottage, enticing guests to linger amidst its earthy tones. (IMAGES 1-4)

HERITAGE reclaimed oak serves as a countertop in another cottage, and wide plank flooring in the main office. The office powder room is cozied up by the inclusion of reclaimed oak beams framing the mirror.

NEW AMSTERDAM new white oak was selected for flooring throughout two of the cottages as well as stair treads.

UMBER new white oak provides a beautifully textured floor.

WALL CLADDING:
OLD SCHOOL 9″ wide skip planed reclaimed oak barn siding showcases its unique rustic beauty along the wall and windowsills in one of the bedrooms, as well as in the custom-built bed frame.
