reSAWN’s Shou Sugi Ban Featured on Cover of Hamptons Cottages & Gardens

reSAWN products in Hamptons Cottages & Gardens Magazine
reSAWN’s custom shou sugi ban charred cypress is featured on the cover of the August 2019 Hamptons Cottages & Gardens Architecture issue.  Similar in color and tone to our MURASAKI – this custom finish was designed by reSAWN specifically for this project.  The blue/grey hue of this finish compliments the wood and will age gracefully in place.  Burning helps to accentuate the natural grain pattern of the cypress and adds visual depth to the wood cladding.

“All exterior materials, from reSAWN’s custom shou sugi ban charred cypress to raw concrete walls, to the zinc roof, were chosen for their ability to weather and patina gracefully, naturally over time.” — Architect Maziar Behrooz (read the full article here)

MB Architecture chose to carry our custom shou sugi ban charred cypress throughout the interior of the home as well. They also incorporated our GOVERNOR European white oak flooring and custom North American white oak ceiling cladding.

Introducing Rough Sawn ATLANTIC WHITE CEDAR: an elegant option for both interior and exterior cladding

By Jocelyn Mahan In Inspiring Designs, New Products, Product Updates, Weathered Atlantic White Cedar /  

reSAWN TIMBER co. is pleased to announce the addition of 4 rough-sawn weathered ATLANTIC WHITE CEDAR designs to our sought after cedar offering – for exterior cladding and interior wall/ceiling cladding. The new rough-sawn offering includes 4 designs: CHINOOK, FOEHN, OSTRO and SIROCCO. 

WHY SPECIFY ATLANTIC WHITE CEDAR

We offer ATLANTIC WHITE CEDAR because of its propensity for resiliency, beauty, and versatility. Its lightweight, straight grain, ease of machining, ease of finishing, low shrinkage, and extreme resistance to decay make it a trusted and elegant option for both interior and exterior applications.

ATLANTIC WHITE CEDAR that is uncoated and exposed to weather over time will develop an attractive silver/gray patina.  The rate of that color change depends on climate zones, the orientation of the home/structure and exposure to weather.  reSAWN’s finishing process on our pre-weathered ATLANTIC WHITE CEDAR designs solve for wood’s natural propensity to grey out by resembling a weathered look at the time of installation, with little change as it ages in place. 

An additional benefit to our pre-weathered designs is the ability to achieve consistent color on all differing exterior exposures and to attain a seamless interior/exterior aesthetic from day one when exterior cladding is brought to the interior (see the BRIZA image below for an example). From the start expect a soft, consistent weathered color and texture that looks natural, appealing and interesting. For interior applications, expect little to no change from the day of installation.

Introducing vertical grain WESTERN HEMLOCK: a well designed, economical option for modern interior wall and ceiling cladding.

By Jocelyn Mahan In CHARRED WOOD, Inspiring Designs, New Products /  4

reSAWN TIMBER co. chose Western Hemlock for interior applications due to its impeccably straight uniform grain structure, fine texture and its creamy white to light gold color, which lends itself to a modern clean aesthetic.

Western Hemlock is typically found on the Pacific North West coast of North America and is one of the most valuable sources of lumber in the northern hemisphere and is the largest of the hemlock species. Specimens range from 90 to 150 feet tall and 3 to 4.5 feet wide, though some specimens have been known to grow to heights of 250 feet and diameters approaching 9 feet. The wood is usually odorless when dry and free of resin.

reSAWN’s Western Hemlock offering includes three CHARRED shou sugi ban designs — KITSAP, YAKIMA and KITTITAS — and six designs that are non-CHARRED — MASON, GRAYS HARBOR, LEWIS, SNOHOMISH, OKANOGAN, and WHITMAN. All nine products are available for sampling and specification.
