MODERN LAKE HOUSE :: SHOU SUGI BAN SIDING
MODERN LAKE HOUSE in VERNON, BC featuring shou-sugi-ban CHARRED wood exterior siding – MOYASU from reSAWN TIMBER co.’s CHARRED collection
reSAWN’s CHARRED collection features cypress, yellow pine and red oak that is burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou-sugi-ban. translated as “the burning of Japanese cypress (sugi)”, and traditionally used in Japan as exterior siding, 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). the charcoal barrier created through this process preserves the wood, and is fire, rot and insect resistant. the burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in different light.

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.

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
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.
