Barnwood

It is important to us that the cold of the steel be balanced with the warmth of wood. To do so, we found a local dilapidated barn that we recycled into the ceiling. It works well against the exposed bar joists. We also saved the 2x4s from the razed house (they were old growth "real" 2x4s). We epoxied and pressed the 2x4s together, planed them down, and placed them as stair treads. Green reuse is only limited by your imagination.
