Old Wood Surfacing

Timeless Appeal, Modern Convenience

Old wood surfacing from Northern Log imbues your wood products with an aged, antique appearance, while minimizing the hassle.

With our expansive Weathered Wood line of products, Northern Log provides everything you need to create distinctive spaces complete with the aged and rustic look to infuse your residential or commercial project with character and charm. Better yet, you can add those Weathered Wood touches to any piece of lumber from Northern Log with our Old Wood Surfacing services.

We add all the individual characteristics found in distressed or reclaimed wood, with none of the issues — such as inconsistent supplies, curling, crooked boards, dirt, or insects. Our old wood surfacing takes newly sourced wood — be it planks, siding and panel, beams and timber, and other products — and adds the saw marks, weather checks, and more to create a rustic look that is all your own.

Northern Log works with you to find the right texture, style and color to make your vision come to life. With old wood surfacing, our Weathered Wood line of products, and our vast collection of prefinished and pre-stained capabilities, you’ll have everything you need to create a design that reflects your chosen aesthetic.

Old Wood Surfacing Options

Antique Hewn Plank

Our antique hewn plan style of old wood surfacing resembles aged logs or timbers that have endured many years of natural weathering. Mild abrasions and horizontal grain breaks create an old ax-hewn texture.

  • Tongue and groove
  • Can be used for interior and exterior projects
  • 1×12 milled with square edge at horizontal joints
  • 2-12’ lengths with square end-match at butt joints
  • Available in interior and exterior colors

Antique Circle Sawn

This technique harkens back to the days of the pioneers with cuts that mimic those of old circle-sawn sawmills. The resulting texture is magnified under a stain or finish, enhancing the detail and beauty of the natural wood.

  • Tongue and Groove
  • Blind nail application
  • Milled with square horizontal edge
  • 6”8”12” wide boards in lengths of 2-12’, end matched
  • Can be used on interior and exterior products
  • Available in interior and exterior colors

Weathered Circle Sawn

This old wood surfacing option has the circle-sawn texture, but also uses a weathered-checked appearance to give you a look that resembles wood pulled straight from a 100-year old barn — instead of the freshly milled lumber it is.

  • Tongue and Groove
  • Blind nail application
  • Can be used for interior and exterior projects
  • 6”8”12” wide boards in lengths of 2-12’, end matched
  • Available in interior and exterior colors
  • All joints come square edged

Vintage Barn Wood

This method is used for interior applications only, but combines the looks and benefits of both our antique and weathered circle sawn wood to create authentic-looking barn wood. Mixing different sizes and colors adds to the appeal and authenticity.

  • Milled from 6”8”and 12” material
  • Available in lengths of 2-12’
  • All joints come square edged and end matched
  • Only interior colors available
