Kirkwood Ski House

2007-09-13T17:38:00-06:00

I've included some photos of an inspiring vacation ski house in Kirkwood, California. The house belongs to John Suppes. John is a green building pioneer and president of Clarum Homes in Palo Alto, California. John used our weathered gray barn siding for the exterior siding. Reclaimed wood siding is one of our most sought after products. The house is still under construction and we hope to obtain some more photos when it's complete.
Thanks to John Suppes and Bruce McNab (Project Manager).

Bay Area Tuscan Style Home

2007-04-13T21:04:00-06:00

Our client, Kelly Mahoney, came by the showroom to choose a hand hewn mantle piece. The antique mantle beam will be one of the final touches to her beautiful Tuscan Style Home. Kelly brought these photos in to show us how it is all coming together. Black's Farmwood, Inc. supplied originally hand hewn barn timbers and rustic barn siding milled for ceiling decking.
I asked Kelly, "how does the antique reclaimed wood feel in your home? " She said, "warm, cozy, and inviting".
It has been a pleasure working with Kelly and her contractor, DeMattei Contruction.
Thanks!

Napa Valley Rammed Earth w/ Barn Siding

2007-01-08T22:03:00-06:00

Halperin & Christ Architects of San Rafael, CA and their design team are completing a beautiful rammed earth and SIP panel residence in Napa Valley for the Weir Family (Owners and Operators of Hagafen Cellars Winery). I've included a photo of Eric Christ in front of weathered gray barn siding provided by Black's Farmwood, Inc. The project is still in progress, and battens will be added to the reclaimed barn boards in coming days. Eric says that the gray siding adds a perfect accent to the rammed earth walls. I agree that the recycled barn siding gives an organic and earthy compliment to the residence. Eric, thanks for sharing photos of the project! Happy New Year! Michael Black

Mendocino County Barn House

2006-12-10T13:20:00-06:00

I want to thank my friend Jim up in Mendocino County, California for sending photos of his beautiful and earthy barn/house.

About three years ago, Jim purchased reclaimed redwood that we had in stock from a historic lumber mill de-construction in Northern California. He used the redwood for beams, walls, and ceilings. The exquisite old growth redwood has a deep and rich color that you can only get from all heart redwood.

The exterior gray siding came from antique barns in the Northeast. Jim did a great job with the siding. I really like the sliding barn doors!

The flooring is also made from barn siding. The Antique Tobacco Barn Oak plank flooring is rustic and warm. I think it is a perfect compliment to the aged redwood.

Thanks again for the photos. It's always nice to see another completed project!
All the best,
Michael Black
