Custom Barnwood Table Appraisal

Handmade Reclaimed Vermont Barnwood Side Table

This is a custom, handmade side or end table meticulously crafted from century-old reclaimed lumber salvaged from a cattle barn in Southern Vermont. The table measures 32 inches long by 24 inches wide by 22 inches high and weighs approximately 35 pounds. Its construction features a breadboard-style top with a multi-plank center panel, showing a rich variety of natural wood tones, knots, and historic character consistent with aged pine or hemlock. A notable structural and aesthetic feature is the use of shiny copper plates as joinery accents on the leg assemblies. The base includes stout, square-cut legs supporting an 'X' brace side design and a functional lower storage shelf. The piece is finished with five coats of polyurethane, providing a smooth, protective sheen that enhances the deep grain and rustic patina. As a brand-new item made from historic materials, it exhibits zero post-construction wear but retains the desirable character marks (nail holes, weathering) of the original barn wood. The craftsmanship reflects a sturdy, rustic-industrial style, blending traditional joinery with modern protective finishes.
