Sometimes great ideas are simple in concept and harder to transform into reality. The construction of this railing began with the scavenging of several riverbanks and lake shores for driftwood of many shapes including several long straight pieces. Then came the selection of the right piece for the right spot. The top of the newel post looks like a beaver just gnawed it. The railing was a real jigsaw puzzle. Joining it all into a sturdy handrail system that the inspector would approve of, was a combination of good carpentry skills, fast setting epoxy, and artistic luck. The resulting handrail wowed the homeowners and their friends. It sets the mood for a Colorado ski lodge getaway every time they descend the stairs. The wainscoting and doors are made from reclaimed white barn board. For this special job, no wood was joined, every edge was eased to look worn with a wavering block plane. Knots, bullet holes, gouges, old paint, saw marks and every other imperfection were embraced and showcased for the story they represented. Nothing looks new. The ceiling is treated with tongue and grooved, beveled cedar planks. There is nothing more incongruous than when a room is rustic but the sheetrock walls are left smooth - especially when the wall are left white. To give the walls an aged look we used a two-tone yellow-gold, coarse Venetian plaster. PHOTO CREDIT: John Ray

This area was originally the outside patio. isARK Studio tied into the existing slab and tile and again used drywall and a play on space and light to create sculptural elements in the architecture.

This rustic entryway showcases reclaimed wood in three distinct applications, with rich stair treads, a horizontal slat railing, and warm toned flooring all working together to create a cohesive, character filled space. The natural grain, knots, and deep coloring throughout the wood bring warmth to this bright, simple entryway, proving how seamlessly reclaimed wood can tie a home's design together from floor to stairway. At Manomin Resawn Timbers, every reclaimed wood application starts with salvaged timbers pulled from structures dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. That history is present in every knot, saw mark, and patina found in the wood, giving each piece a one of a kind character that cannot be replicated with new lumber, whether used underfoot, as a stair tread, or along a railing. Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner looking to bring warmth and cohesion to a rustic entryway, Manomin Resawn Timbers has the reclaimed wood flooring, treads, and railing to complete your design.
