Bordon Dining Room by Urban Barnwood

The Barnwood Story

It all started a century or two ago. Trees were cut down manually – with axes to produce wood pieces. Then from the timbers, the hefty beams and boards were cut to make beautiful creations.

It was a similar process for all the buildings on the homestead: house, barns, and sheds or outbuildings. Everything was hand cut and structured using the tried and true mortise and tenon system. Many of the buildings stood for a century or more.

Today, with less farming these buildings continue to age, some are restored close to their original state while others are felled or disassembled piece by piece to create magnificent reclaimed barnwood furniture pieces and much, much more.

After the structure is disassembled, the lumber is hauled to the lumber handling yard where it undergoes a cleaning and drying process. All the lumber is run under a metal detector twice where the nails are marked and removed, then stacked for drying. It is then kiln-dried to 7% moisture and also to exterminate all the bugs and insects as the lumber moves closer to being usable for handcrafted reclaimed barnwood furniture.

The reclaimed barnwood furniture process is an environmentally friendly way to preserve the old and vintage and give a precious natural resource a second life.

The Bordon Collection

The round, pedestal table offers the perfect place for friends and family to gather for a meal and good conversation as they sit in the comfortable, cross-back chairs that feature metal trim on the back to copy the black metal trim on the table base. The table, pictured here in the Tavern Top stain, stands at 30” high and is available in 42”, 48”, 54”, and 60” diameters. There are also several extension options available, providing more than enough space for a large meal or a family game night. The server from the Wellington collection, measuring 32” H x 19” D x 64” W, makes the perfect complementary piece for this set, providing all of the space you need for storing linens, utensils, serving ware and other essential dinner party items.

The pieces in both collections are available in a variety of stains and glazes, including Clear, Ebony, and Pewter, so you can select the ones that reflect your personality while blending them all into one seamless arrangement

Overall, if you’re looking for a strong, beautiful place to enjoy meals and gather with others, then look no further! You can wine and dine with a touch of modern elegance because the Bordon Collection is the perfect way to get the best of both worlds.
