reSAWN is pleased to introduce 4 new designs on reclaimed hemlock inspired by reclaimed barn siding. The reclaimed hemlock is wirebrushed with a stain/sealer. The colors have been carefully curated by our product developer to reflect the colors typically found on reclaimed barn siding. Designers can now specify a reclaimed wood product that looks like barn siding without the concerns of lead paint that can sometimes be found on old barns. The beautifully rustic reclaimed hemlock adds variation and fluidity to these designs while the stain/sealer allows for a more consistent all over color than can be achieved with reclaimed barn siding.
