ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Independence Health Group is the leading health insurance company and strives to build healthier lives for its customers. Serving more than 8 million people nationwide and nearly 2.5 million in the region, the newly designed IBX Center for Innovation included reSAWN TIMBER co.’s BELLEPORT black walnut flooring as a part of its new two-story, 30,000 sq foot building, specified by Meyer Design Inc. It also included reSAWN’s KOI shou sugi ban charred cypress interior wall cladding at the cafe and our BLACK & TAN reclaimed Hemlock wall cladding on the logo feature wall.

BELLEPORT by reSAWN TIMBER co. features wide plank plain sawn select or character grade American Black WALNUT prefinished with matte polyurethane for flooring or wall cladding. The wide face width showcases the full character and grain pattern that black walnut has to offer.

American Black Walnut is a heavy, strong wood defined by its rich deep browns and beautiful figure. PLAIN SAWN boards are produced by cutting tangentially to a tree’s growth rings producing the familiar “cathedral” or “flame” pattern on the board face. The annual growth rings are generally at a 0° – 30° angle to the face of the board.

The grain pattern of black walnut is mostly straight and open, but some boards have burled or curly grain.

KOI features CHARRED CYPRESS burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. KOI can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding. For exterior cladding, we offer Select Grade. For interior applications, we offer #2 common and Select Grade. The higher the grade, the better it is felt the wood will perform, especially in exterior applications.

BLACK & TAN features antique reclaimed hemlock that has been wire brushed to accentuate the unique grain pattern of hemlock and finished with a stain/sealer. Expect lots of texture and variation to the grain. Standardly used for wall and ceiling cladding (not appropriate for flooring). HEMLOCK is one of the harder of the softwoods with a Janka rating of 500. BLACK & TAN is rich in both color and character marks include mineral staining, color changes, weathering, checking, nail holes, and knots. Face nailing recommended.

Todd Williams Billie Tsien

DETAILS
Flooring : North American White Oak – Rift & Quarter Sawn

Select Grade Unfinished

Engineered 5/8″ thick x 5″ wide x 18″- 8″ random lengths

Engineered 5/8″ thick x 5″ wide x 9’6″- 10’6″ random lengths

Tongue & Groove, Endmatched

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The renovations at Hood Museum at Dartmouth College include reSAWN’s rift & quarter sawn, select grade North American white oak flooring, specified by Todd Williams Billie Tsien architectural firm. Available as FSC Certified upon request, this flooring was specified in 4″ wide planks, with a high percentage of rift sawn to yield the clean, modern end result look.

RIFT SAWN lumber is produced by first cutting the log into quarters and then making alternating cuts that are perpendicular to the annual growth rings. QUARTER SAWING produces boards with mostly vertical-grain and a distinctive figuring often referred to as “flecks”, “flakes” or “ray flecks” caused by the medullary rays of the log.

ABOUT HOOD MUSEUM AT DARTMOUTH COLLEGE

In early 2019, the Hood Museum concluded a physical expansion and renovation project, as well as a reinvigoration of what it does and how it does it. With architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien and their team, as well as colleagues in the Dartmouth President’s, Provost’s, and Campus Planning Offices, the Hood Museum of Art staff immersed itself in this purpose-driven building project, which renewed this thirty-five-year-old institution on a campus that turned 250 in 2019.

The museum tripled its teaching capacity from one study-storage room to three smart object-study rooms, each designed to accommodate a particular type of experiential engagement with objects of aesthetic and cultural significance. These teaching spaces are located in a dedicated center, alongside an object-staging room and curatorial and security offices.

The museum also expanded its galleries by a third and added to its existing facility a new public concourse that serves as a forum for the college’s arts initiatives, as well as a welcoming entry into the new museum and object-study center. The expansion also encompassed improvements to the original Charles Moore galleries, new workspaces and meeting rooms for staff, and a renewal of the museum’s auditorium and general visitor-services accommodations.

LOCK HAVEN – hickory, plain sawn – character grade
Prefinished with hardwax oil, voids filled
Silid: ¾”thick x 5” wide x 2’-10’ random lengths
Tongue & Groove, Endmatched, Microbevelved Edges and Ends

“We started with a simple idea, and a familiar one: Less is more. The Hamilton is for savvy urbanites seeking less complexity and more efficiency. Less so-called luxury and more genuine worth. Less unneeded space and more thoughtful design. Less ho-hum and more fun.” — The Hamilton

The Hamilton is a 500k square foot mixed-use development located on the Community College of Philadelphia’s campus and burgeoning Museum District neighborhood. It was developed by Radnor Property Group who teamed MSD alongside MYArchitecture. They drew inspiration from the growing trend toward living more sensibly, more sustainably :: Reducing our impact on the planet :: Owning less stuff but sharing more experiences — an ethos shared by reSAWN. LOCK HAVEN is sourced from domestic newly harvested hickory which reSAWN finished with a zero-VOC natural oil that respects the look and feel of the wood.

LOCK HAVEN by reSAWN TIMBER co. features plain sawn, character grade, newly harvested HICKORY prefinished with our hardwax oil. Hickory is one of the hardest domestic woods available with a Janka rating of 1820. PLAIN SAWN boards are produced by cutting tangentially to a tree’s growth rings producing the familiar “cathedral” or “flame” pattern on the board face. The annual growth rings are generally at a 0° – 30° angle to the face of the board.

The grain pattern of hickory is mostly straight and open, but some boards have burled or curly grain. The heartwood of hickory is tan or reddish; while the sapwood is white to cream, with fine brown lines creating a pleasing mix of colors.

Our natural oil is non-toxic and 100% VOC-free and produces a durable, matte finish that respects the natural look and feel of the wood.

Comcast appointed Gensler to develop the interiors in collaboration with Foster + Partners and Daroff Design, Inc. to create the building’s interior environment. Clear glass walls, bold colors, low-partitions, and light oak wood furnishings combine to create a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere that enhances communication, celebrates the brand and serves as an important recruiting tool.

Gensler Chose to incorporate reSAWN’s JAVELIN reclaimed oak cladding in the main elevator lobby and hallways and MERCER white oak cladding on certain room entrances. Plus,

Gensler included a custom RSTco. conference table and a RSTco. coffee table for the Comcast Labs room.

Foster + Partners won an international competition to design the Comcast Innovation and Technology Centre, a mixed-use tower combining high-tech research and development spaces with a hotel at 1800 Arch Street in Philadelphia, next to the existing Comcast Tower. At 1121 feet, it is the city’s tallest building and America’s tallest outside New York and Chicago. With an efficient, sustainable design targeting LEED Platinum, a vertical series of ‘pocket parks’ and inspiring social spaces, the tower provides a unique, highly flexible workplace that can nurture innovation and help the world’s largest media company attract the industry’s leading talent.

Stumpy’s Hatchet House :: Custom Charred Cypress

Princeton, NJ

Interior Cladding
Custom charred shou sugi ban cypress wood

#2 Common
Burnt on face only, Unfinished (interior)
Solid +/- 13/16″ thick x +/- 5-1/2″ wide
S4S

Stuart and Kelly Josberger and their two friends, Mark and Trish Oliphant realized the potential of their backyard barbecue axe throwing game and brought it to the public. Customers can safely hurl hatchets for fun and friendly competition at Stumpy’s Hatchet house, a cozy cabin and rustic aesthetic cabin at a location near you.

reSAWN’s custom charred cypress interior cladding was specified for Stumpy’s in Princeton, NJ., which adds to the locations woodland aesthetic. reSAWN’s shou sugi ban charred cypress is carefully charred, misted with water, cooled, brushed and then stained/sealed. The top coat sealer is applied prior to shipping (for exterior applications, we recommend sealing the back side as well as the face). The burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in different light. Our products are made with cypress sourced from the Southern United States and can be used for interior wall cladding, ceiling cladding and exterior siding. With its legendary beauty and natural durability, cypress has long been a staple as an exterior wood siding product. Because cypress generates its own preservative oil, called cypressene, it’s an ideal wood for locations with constant heat, humidity, and torrential rains.

Our charring & sealing process makes for beautifully designed exterior wood siding. Like any exterior wood siding prefinished or finished in place, these materials will weather naturally over time and will require maintenance. For interior applications, expect little to no change.

reSAWN’s CHARRED offering features cypress, western red cedar, Accoya, Kebony, black walnut, red oak, white oak and reclaimed hemlock that is burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou sugi ban. Our award-winning CHARRED products pay homage to the traditional Japanese technique of “shou-sugi-ban” aka “yakisugi” without being literal. Historically very specific in their definition, “shou-sugi-ban” and “yakisugi” have become common nomenclature for modern charred wood designs in general. All of reSAWN’s CHARRED products are made in the USA, in our facility in Telford, PA.

Located at the very end of the Overseas Highway in northern Key West, this bayside private residence included reSAWN’s NEWPORT black walnut flooring and stair treads. A cement driveway surround and raised first floor give the exterior a classic beach house aesthetic. The interior is designed around an open floor plan with living room, dining room, and kitchen in one area. With NEWPORT black walnut flooring on both the main floor and top floor, the homeowners included custom designed black walnut stair treads to connect the two floors.

The home is set up to take advantage of the favorable Florida weather. On the main floor, large sliding doors merge interior with exterior through an expansive porch with a lounge area and a reclaimed wood table. Additionally, the first level has a dock on the bay, a small pool, and a covered play area. Noteworthy for its simple aesthetic of white walls and wood accents, the hallway and guest room allow for ample light to spill onto the NEWPORT black walnut flooring. The master bedroom has a simple aesthetic similar to that of the entire house–white walls and black walnut–but its greatest feature is a small, private balcony that overlooks the yard and other bay front homes.

NEWPORT features plain sawn select grade American Black Walnut pre-finished with hardwax oil for flooring or wall cladding.

WEATHERWORN Reclaimed Barn Siding :: Ink Block

No Finish
3/4″ Thick X 5″ Wide X 2′-10′ RLs
Tongue & Groove

ABOUT THE PROJECT

With a primary goal of revitalizing Boston’s South End neighborhood, Elkus Manfredi Architects created a design aesthetic that focuses on returning the area to a lively, dynamic mixed-use community. Drawing inspiration from former building owners–the Boston Herald–Ink Block has become a pillar in Boston’s revitalization project with classic Bostonian motifs and contemporary, edgy design features.

Ink Block is comprised of three different apartment complexes that have vastly different design themes. 3 Ink offers a traditional industrial design that includes warmer colors and wood integrated throughout the building, and houses reSAWN’s WEATHERWORN reclaimed barn siding in the lobby.

reSAWN’s WEATHERWORN reclaimed barn siding is a beautiful way to incorporate antique building materials into a modern design. WEATHERWORN is an original board face reclaimed wood that is power washed and de-nailed with the original patina left untouched.

The wood is unfinished due to the natural oxidization process that produces a tough, weather resistant exterior. WEATHERWORN is available in a variety of different species and colors.

Elkus Manfredi Architects specified the dark brown and slightly maroon coloring as an ode to the building’s former use as a print facility. Referencing the CMYK color palette used in newspaper printing, WEATHERWORN evokes the rustic, working-class essence of print publications.

In line with their contemporary theme and antique accents, Elkus Manfredi Architects hoped to make Ink Block an icon of sustainable building. Ink Block sought to achieve four basic sustainable design goals: resource efficient, support health and wellness for its users, be flexible and adaptable, and be durable and maintainable. With WEATHERWORN being a reclaimed wood that does not contain any VOC finishes and has lasted for countless decades, the wood offered numerous sustainable qualities to the building.
