Our reclaimed barn board is sourced from aged barns and historic rural structures across North America. Every plank tells a story, showing the natural wear, grain movement, and texture only time can produce. These boards offer an unmatched sense of history and rustic beauty that no modern replication can achieve. The aged wood includes nail holes, patina, and saw marks, making each board one-of-a-kind. We carry both classic brown tones and the increasingly popular weathered grey barn board, each offering a distinct aesthetic.
We carry a broad inventory of barn wood boards in various lengths, widths, and finishes to suit your project. Choose from deep, earthy brown barn board or beautifully aged grey barn board with its silvery tones. From hand-hewn, rough-textured faces to cleaner lines, there’s something in stock for every design—from rustic industrial to modern farmhouse. Boards are shipped rustic and unprocessed to retain their full character.
By choosing reclaimed barn wood, you're not only getting high-character lumber—you’re also supporting responsible forestry and environmental preservation. These boards are recycled from structures that might otherwise be discarded, helping reduce landfill waste while preserving architectural history. Builders and designers alike choose reclaimed lumber for its sustainability as much as its beauty.

Since each board is shipped rustic and unprocessed, we recommend taking a few basic steps to prepare it for your build. Begin by brushing off dust or surface debris. You may choose to lightly sand sharp corners or edges, though many prefer to preserve the raw edges for authenticity. Sealing the wood with an oil or finish helps protect the grain while enhancing color and contrast. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners; instead, use soft cloths and wood-safe products to keep your board looking its best over time. With proper care, reclaimed barn wood can last for generations in indoor spaces.
Pricing is based on board size, quantity, and wood characteristics such as color variation and texture. Our website provides real-time stock levels and current prices, and our team can assist with custom quotes for larger commercial or contractor orders. We ensure each board is securely packed for safe transit and reliable arrival throughout Canada and the U.S. You can place your order online 24/7 or speak with a lumber expert during business hours for guidance on inventory and fit.
