HISTORIC ARROWHEAD TUNNEL MATERIAL- Beautiful 2 X 12 DF Planks Available for your Project

The State of California recently completed a decades-long infrastructure project involving pipelines and canals to transport water from Northern California to the cities of Southern California.

Now salvaged and available for purchase, all of the wood planking which was used to allow men and machines easy transport within the tunnels during construction.

The tunnel material is a beautiful rich brown barnwood after pressure washing. The planks are slightly nominal in dimensions and the majority is long (up to 20')

This image shows the tunnel planks as they were pulled from the project and bundled for shipment. These planks are covered with a fine gray slurry dust which results from the Tunnel Boring Machine(TBM) grinding the rocks of the mountain into fine bits.

OLD GROWTH FUMED WOODEN FLOORS

Fuming is a process historically reserved only for fine furniture, and we are one of the few flooring companies in America to fume wooden floors. The result is a unique and beautiful product, unlike any other on the flooring market today.

Old Growth boards are are available flat sawn, fine grained, wide and long. The Oak boards are predominantly "Euro" cut ( vertical grain on both edges with a small cathedral in the center) as well as pure quarter sawn. Also available Old Growth Cherry and Walnut. Boards are 5"-10" wide and 6'-12' long.

The fuming process brings out the deep natural color of the wood through a reaction with the tannic acid naturally contained within the boards. This process gives the floors a deep harmonious appearance that makes it unnecessary to use heavy stains when finishing the floor.

HISTORIC BARN FRAMES FOR REASSEMBLY

Barns are carefully deconstructed, documented and barcoded to both preserve the quality of the material and ensure that the architect or contractor can easily adapt to the specific needs.

BARNWOOD LUMBER: Barnwood Lumber is carefully reclaimed from siding, roof boards, granary boards, loft floors and other parts of vintage structures. Barnwood lumber is mixed species and can be sorted for broad general catagories of look, (brownd/greys, roughsawn/smooth). The variation of look from piece to piece is a characteristic of this product.
