MADE IN AMERICA BY AMERICANS
At the GRAND OLD BARN we hand craft / finish Early American, County and Primitive furniture and home furnishings. The vast majority of our items are made of locally grown White Pine. We buy the majority of our lumber at a local mill and it is air dried to the exact moisture content required to create a stable, quality piece just for you and your family. Some of our products are hard wood such as Oak, Maple, Walnut and some are a combination of both hard wood and White Pine.
The bulk of our items are finished with Milk Paint, finished with a hand rubbed oil and wax finish. Some items that will invariably be in wet conditions like kitchens and baths are given a protective finish of egg shell polyurathane.
Milk Paint is non-toxic so we are doing our GREEN Part here at the Grand Old Barn.

Since the items we are selling are wood, a naturally unstable item due to constant changes in humidity, on occasion a door or drawer may stick or twist. The only wood that is very resistant to significant swelling / shrinking or warping is chip board and we don't sell it! If an item you buy from the Grand Old Barn has a problem due to the design or creation we will make it right; its that simple. We want you to be happy with your investment. If something happens to your Grand Old Barn purchase, you break it, burn it or other wise mess it up, not to worry. We tell everyone, its wood and in the majority of cases can be repaired. Just call and we can discuss the problem and provide you with an estimate for repairs.
