Reclaimed Lumber And Live Edge Tops

Our customers over the years have expressed an interest in both Reclaimed wood tops and Live Edge wood tops.  We offer a couple of options in that category, and have several sources from which we source our solid wood material for both products. Both of our live edge and reclaimed wood kitchen counter tops are limited in both species of wood and what our suppliers have available.  These wood options are typically a special order and may add lead time to the order depending on sourcing the raw materials from our suppliers.  If this is a product of interest to you, please call the shop so we can discuss the details! 

Antique Native New England Softwoods (Special Order)

Some of the material we use to produce our reclaimed wood kitchen counter tops is taken from antique spruce, fir, white pine, and hemlock timbers that have aged for over 100 years. This vintage look comes in varying thickness boards and random widths from 3″-12″. The “dirty face” is the original exposed face of the timber. This lumber has most likely been recovered from aging industrial buildings in New England. These 3×8, 3×10, and 3×12 timbers have spent the last 125 years of their life as structural joists: overseeing the rise and fall of America’s industrial era in New England. 

Reclaimed Vintage Barn Oak

Our Reclaimed Barn wood countertops are made with vintage reclaimed barn oak in varying widths from 3″-9″  after milling and sanding they finish between 1 1/2"- 1 3/8" thickness.   We automatically fill all nail holes and cracks with black epoxy so that spills don't end up in your silverware drawer.  On request we can also leave these unfilled for a more rustic look.  

*Reclaimed oak tops have a wide variety of colors and character. This is not something we can control as history has left its unique mark on every board.  Therefore it is important to understand that the colors and distressing of each reclaimed board in a reclaimed top will vary.

Character Grade White Oak Countertops

Do you love the Rustic & Reclaimed Wood look? Enter Character Grade White Oak!

The character grade white oak countertop is a more rustic looking countertop, complete with knots & cracks that we fill with black epoxy to maintain and highlight these character traits, making each "Rustic" white oak top, unique and exclusive!  We select the most visually interesting boards and use them in achieving a "one and only" look, focusing on creating an aesthetically balanced masterpiece!  Currently, the only wood species that we stock regularly in the character grade is White Oak, but we are open to making them in any of the species we offer if and when it is available.  Just note that lead times may vary depending on availability of adequate lumber.   These tops are more economical in price than the reclaimed wood tops, as their origin is from harvested lumber, rather than from dismantled beams in old barns or houses, which can be significantly more expensive. 

*While we have more control over this process, Sprague Woodworking is still working with the limitations of what lumber is supplied by our partners. We cannot guarantee any specific features in a given counter, only general appearance of tones, with a blend of character blemishes.
