LIVE EDGE WOOD TABLE TOPS :: TOAST IN NAPA VALLEY
Toast Kitchen & Bar in Oakland, California was founded by Kristen Policy and Heather Sittig. A felled redwood tree from Kristen’s garden was sawn into slabs and used as tables tops, with Burrow sawhorses serving for the legs. This project also makes use of reclaimed bleacher boards from a local high school gym (complete with graffiti), and glasses and water bottles are all made from recycled glass.

WHITE OAK – LIVE EDGE SLAB TOPS
10th STREET BROOKLYN :: project feature
4 STORIES of NEW AMSTERDAM WHITE OAK FLOORING and STAIRS
This 4-story brownstone off Prospect Park in the popular, idyllic neighborhood of Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY features reSAWN’s NEW AMSTERDAM FSC ®, wide plank, original cut white oak flooring throughout. Redtop Architects also used reSAWN’s New Amsterdam for stairs throughout and to create a unique entertainment cubby with wood from floor to ceiling. New Amsterdam is a design that features our original cut white oak and ammonia fuming. The combination of the character in the wood and the rich, deep color from the fuming process creates a warm floor with plenty of visual interest. Redtop specified the flooring at 6″ wide and custom long lengths from 7-12′ to reduce seams and to create a feeling of flow throughout.

EASTMAN EGG COMPANY :: project feature
SHOU SUGI BAN SIDING at the EASTMAN EGG CO.
the Chicago-based Eastman Egg Company had been serving up delicious, all-natural, made-to-order breakfast sandwiches from their mobile food truck before deciding to open a storefront on Wacker Drive. The interior of the restaurant is clad in our MOYASU cypress siding. This project features #2 common grade cypress that has been burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou-sugi-ban. this ancient technique is gaining new life as a unique and modern interior and exterior wall cladding. The wood is carefully charred, misted with water, cooled, brushed to remove dust and loose debris, and then stained/sealed to create the unique designs you will find in the CHARRED collection. The top coat sealer is applied prior to shipping (for exterior applications, we recommend sealing the face & back).
