    I just came across this video, and that's a beautiful piece of reclaimed wood. It sure will make an awesome mantle. Makes me want to have a fireplace built in my house so i can have a mantle like that. At least i can dream. lol

    I'm using reclaimed wood from the old barns in the back of my 224-year-old farmhouse reno. So far, we've put 1 beam vertical in the kitchen as a support, and planks are being prepped for floors and trim. All it's costing me is time, labor, and cleaning/sanding materials.

    Thanks for the video. Which step would you use the nylon wheel for the restorer? Thanks again

    • @TheDenBarnwood
      @TheDenBarnwood  Год назад +1

      The nylon wheel is not as abrasive as wire which is an option for more delicate surfaces.

      The Restorer is a life saver when sanding/lifting grain. All your effort will pay off, beams make a beautiful statement piece(s). Good luck on your project!

    I came into a bunch of barnwood beams. I sold one for $225. Too cheap. What should be a bd ft price for a finished mantel? Thx.

    • @TheDenBarnwood
      @TheDenBarnwood  3 года назад

      So many factors to consider when pricing finished mantles such as beam size, species, how it was prepared and if mounting brackets will be included just to name a few. Definitely check out your local market pricing points as a starter then adjust from there.

    Hello, very useful video, for which I thank you very much! I'm not a carpenter, but as far as I understand the tool you used to go through thousands of meters of beams is a grater. What exactly is this carpenter's grater? Brand, power and so on? And accordingly, does the wire attachment have any peculiarities for it? Thanks in advance!

      Glad to hear that you found value in our video, thank you. As far as your questions I do plan on diving deeper into the Restorer tool in the future. I intend on providing my personal experience with this tool when it is used for reclaimed wood and tips to consider.

    Very cool. Don't you have to put these in a kiln before you safely bring them in your house? I was under the impression that you need to "sanitize" the wood by killing any insect that might be living in the wood with a kiln.

    • @TheDenBarnwood
      @TheDenBarnwood  3 года назад +1

      I agree, kiln drying wood is the most effective method for ensuring reclaimed wood is pest free. The added bonus is that it is a controlled process producing quality wood that resists warping, cracking and other undesired effects.
      This sounds like a great topic for a dedicated video.
