Unique mooring post boards

Mooring post boards like the ones at Hout met Historie are hard to find anywhere else. They are cut from the outside of old mooring posts, which for years were the fixed anchor point for seagoing ships.

Special boards with a playful character

The heavy, rough ropes that were tied around the posts for decades have left their mark, and that makes for a unique product. You'll recognise mooring post boards instantly by their distinctive look:

Weathered, in light and dark shades of grey
Plenty of notches worn by the many ropes
They're big: up to 40 cm wide and around 400 cm long

100% reclaimed
wood with character

What to make from mooring post boards

You'll often see mooring post boards used as reclaimed hardwood cladding on walls. You can also use them as building and construction timber, or outdoors as fencing. And indoors they really stand out, as furniture, decorative beams or decoration.

Where the mooring posts come from

The solid mooring posts come from harbours all over Europe, some close to home and others much further afield. After years of service as an anchor point for all kinds of ships, it's time for their next destination.
