Old Barn Woods, Reclaim History

Introduction video to Old Barn Woods.  We will be telling the history about each building we reclaim with profession videography and photo.  Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of our updated website.  

Reclaimed wood is not new, unstable, uniform, generic or cheap.  Its not the newest trend or quickest fix.  Reclaimed wood is unique and every piece is a slice of History.

This wood has been used previously.  Maybe it was an original floor from an 1800’s homestead or an old door from a 1906 horse barn.  There is a historic story behind each item and that story is just under the surface, waiting to be repurposed.

This wood is just waiting for someone to give it a new purpose weather you are a homeowner looking to ad some history to your home remodel or for the architect to repurpose and design a new piece of history. 

At Old Barn Woods, we take pride in repurposing this historic reclaimed material.  Behind each piece is a unique story.  Nothing compares to the rustic character of antique woods, so we provide reclaimed woods, flooring, siding, beams, paneling, furniture, antiques and many other items as well. 

Our goal at Old Barn Woods is to grow as a family business and continue to see these old historic buildings and materials utilized in a new way to bring the historic story to your home and keep it alive for another 100+ years. 

There is no substitute; recycled wood is original, one-of-a-kind material that is repurposed for something new and better than original.  Historic wood gives you a chance to be part of history and shape it into something that reflects your personal tastes.  Reclaimed wood will add class to an otherwise potential bland project. 

Reclaimed wood is rare to find but is still all over the country with specialty suppliers.  Here at Old Barn Woods we have a wide assortment of many reclaimed woods just waiting to be reused and redesigned.  This wood is tomorrow’s History and ready to take on a new purposeful life.

Old Barn Woods is based 10 miles north of Watford City, North Dakota.  All our buildings and materials come from within a 100-mile radius of the McKenzie County area.  We are a family run business and strive to preserve the history of each reclaimed building by giving it a new story in homes all across the world.

Vintage Fanning Mill

A fanning mill is a machine designed to separate week, such as regresses, knapweeds, wheat grasses, and wild oats, from seeds and to sort the seeds of grain, legume, and other vegetable crops by specific weight.  Fanning mills are also used in the processing of hybrid and varietal corn kernels to separate damaged kernels and stalk sections from the bulk harvested material.

In a fanning mill the seeds fall onto an inclined separating platform with a mesh bottom.  They are then subjected to longitudinal shaking and are blown with a stream of air form a fan to form layers.  The seeds with the highest specific weight descend through the layers to the bottom and form the first yield.  Seeds of low specific weight and weed seeds rise and mix together on the surface to form the second yield (weed seeds and contaminants with average specific weight) and third yield (the lightest seeds).  This fanning mill was operated by the crank below.
