This rustic, chestnut stained barn door dining table was custom made for a client in Mississauga. The couple picked out an old whitewashed door from the stock in my workshop. the 3′ x 6′ barn door came from the Miller farm near Glen Morris Ontario. Since it was originally used on the exterior of a barn, the door has lots of texture and character that remained with the wood even after stripping, planing, and cutting down to size to fit the client’s needs. The clients were looking for a warm, darker finish; the chestnut stain really brings a richness to the original wood, and reveals all sort of little marks that give the table an authentically rustic finish. As an exterior door, the surface has lots of great weathered hinge and saw marks, and you can still see some of the original whitewash paint coming through!
After being mounted on legs made from reclaimed barn beams, and given a few layers of sturdy varnish, the 3′ x 5.5′ barn door dining table was ready for its new home in Mississauga.

This rustic, grey barn door dining table was custom made for a cottage in Bracebridge. The couple picked out the door from the collection in my workshop; a grainy door salvaged from a barn in Glen Morris. The reclaimed barn door was disassembled, cleaned, sanded down, cut to size, and reassembled to make a rustic tabletop full of original character. The clients wanted an aged, silver-grey barn board finish; it was my first time with this type of colour but it turned out great. This faux-grey finish really brings out the original cracks and dips in the wood. The final touch was adding old square nails into the original nail holes.
After the tabletop was finished, it needed something to sit on. The legs and most of the frame were handmade from salvaged barn timbers, but I wanted to do something a little different for the cross-piece. I found an old yoke in Haldimand County which turned out to be the perfect size, and brought an entirely different level of history to the piece.
The final product is a grey barn door table that somehow both sleek and rustic – a perfect fit for the modern cottage.
