What are farmhouse oak planks?

Farmhouse oak planks are reclaimed oak planks that served for years as the walls of old farmhouses. You can see their past in their lived-in look, shaped by time, weather and use. No two are alike in shape, marks or grain.

How we finish the planks

We inspect the wood where we find it. If the planks are good enough, we bring them back to the Netherlands and turn them into a semi-finished product: planks that are ready to be made into furniture or other pieces.

There are several ways to finish the wood:

• Brushing removes dirt and nails and gives a rugged, understated look
• Planing gives you a smooth plank with a beautiful grain
• You can also buy them unprocessed, as found.

BUY SUSTAINABLE RECLAIMED WOOD

Reclaimed wood is a good choice if you want to buy wood sustainably. We only sell genuine old wood, selected for its quality, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Oak with a rich past

Our farmhouse oak planks come from old farmhouses across Europe, many of them in the mountains. Just imagine: green hills and mountains, winding roads, and along the way those tumbledown wooden farmhouses and barns. They may no longer be in use, but you can almost picture their history. It's in exactly these buildings that we find the most beautiful wood.

Go for beautiful, sustainable wood

Farmhouse oak planks are a perfect choice if sustainability matters to you. By reusing historic building materials, you help the environment. And you bring something unique into your home, because no two planks are the same.
