What are French oak wagon boards?

French oak wagon boards started life in France, yet for years they rolled through the Mediterranean region. In France, the first goods wagons were already running in the 19th century. Wagons that are no longer in use are often simply left standing. At Hout met Historie, we see the potential in that wagon wood.

A sustainable second life for French wagon wood

French oak wagon boards are beautiful and strong: perfect wood for a second life. Reusing wood is sustainable, and a table or cabinet made from these boards will last for years to come. Weathering, use and the marks of time make every piece of furniture built from old French oak boards one of a kind.
