Antique Barn Board Oak
The Soul of the Shenandoah Valley
Bridging the gap between old-world charm and modern living, Barn Board Oak is our best-selling floor. We expertly skip-plane century-old lumber to highlight both the fresh wood beneath and the original weathered face, ensuring every plank retains its historic, authentic character for a truly versatile foundation.
Antique Barn Board Pine
A Legacy of Warmth and Texture
Our Antique Barn Board Pine flooring offers a striking visual balance of color, tones and weathered texture. Skip-planed from 19th-century lumber, each plank contrasts bright, old-growth grain with the deep, rich patina of the wood’s original surface. Showcasing rustic circle-saw marks and authentic nail holes, this beautifully textured flooring creates a warm, captivating foundation full of historic character.
Antique Vintage Thresher Oak
Authenticity, Unfiltered
Crafted directly from the untouched face of antique barns and vintage siding, Thresher Oak delivers the truest 19th-century flooring experience available. By preserving the wood’s original surface in its entirety, we capture a century of resilience in its deep brown hues and enduring saw marks. This character-driven floor is a striking foundation for any room requiring a genuinely historic aesthetic.
Antique Mixed Hardwood
Character, Masterfully Revealed
Expertly milled from our reclaimed mixed hardwood lumber, this skip-planed grade is designed to highlight the wood’s most rugged traits. By intentionally preserving heavy weathering, stress cracks, and knots, it delivers an uncompromisingly authentic foundation for spaces that demand bold, unyielding character

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Barn Board flooring suitable for high-traffic areas or homes with dogs?
Absolutely. Old-growth barn board floors are exceptionally dense—far harder than newly harvested oak. Because it already features a natural, century-old patina, it doesn’t show everyday wear and tear. It simply absorbs your family’s history into its character.
What is the difference between "Original Face" and "Skip-Planed"?
“Original Face” preserves 100% of the original saw marks, weathering, and deep texture from its life as a barn timber. “Skip-Planed” means we lightly mill the top surface—revealing the beautiful, clean oak grain underneath while leaving only the deepest original character marks intact. It’s a smoother, more refined aesthetic.
Can your solid reclaimed barn board floors be installed over radiant floor heating?
Yes, solid reclaimed flooring offers exceptional stability for radiant heat systems because it has been naturally seasoning for over a century. This historic aging process makes the lumber significantly more resilient and dimensionally consistent than new-growth solid wood.
However, any bespoke integration requires site-specific expertise. Determining whether our specific plank widths and your unique heating system are a perfect architectural match is a critical judgment call that must be made by the onsite architect or professional builder. We have supplied many successful radiant heat projects, but final responsibility for total environmental control—including proper subfloor preparation, humidity monitoring, and heating system temperature regulation—always rests with your specialized installation team
How long does it take to mill a custom barn board floor?
Because every floor is hand-graded and custom-milled to order in our Virginia shop, our standard lead time is typically 4 to 6 weeks. For highly bespoke requests or extremely large architectural volumes, we will provide a specific timeline during your quote.
About how much does it cost to ship flooring to my job site?
Freight costs vary depending on the size of your specific order, the exact delivery location, and current carrier fuel surcharges. As a general baseline, you can budget approximately $0.75 per square foot for Mid-Atlantic shipments, and $1.25 per square foot for West Coast deliveries.
Because freight rates fluctuate and every job site is unique, these numbers are strictly ballparks. To get a perfectly accurate shipping rate, we highly recommend calling us or filling out a Quote Request, and our team will calculate the exact logistics for your project.
Are your shipping quotes firm, or will costs change after I order?
We pride ourselves on providing firm shipping quotes upfront directly on your Sales Order, and we work hard to ensure there are no “surprise” surcharges after the fact.
On rare occasions, we may need to re-quote a delivery due to unusual circumstances—such as sudden spikes in carrier fuel surcharges or new information regarding your specific delivery site details. If this ever happens, we prioritize complete transparency and will communicate with you immediately so you are always fully informed about your project’s budget.
Our Virginia Mill Shop
Human Stewardship. Exacting Craftsmanship
Unlike high-volume factories that depend on automated sorting, we believe there is no substitute for human expertise. Here in Staunton, Virginia, we’ve spent decades building on 1997 founding principles with state-of-the-art milling equipment. While advanced machinery guarantees the exact tolerances required for our Reclaimed Barn Board floors, it is our grading specialists who thoughtfully select each board to ensure its history shines through.
After exhaustive and intensive research we chose Appalachian Woods. Steve was consistently patient, responsive and extremely honest and sincere in each and every one of our dealings. We will never go anywhere else for our flooring needs. Steve is fabulous! The quality of the product was gorgeous and we are thrilled.
