Big Sky Resort first opened in 1973 when Montana’s population density was less than five people per square mile. Although the Resort has grown to offer the most terrain in the country and 5 star accommodations, it keeps its continual development true to its rustic Western roots with Montana Timber Products ranchwood™ premium reclaimed barn wood substitute. An excellent option vs. true vintage material, Montana Timber Products’ various product lines are sold at any desired length, minimizing waste and cost by nearly 30%.

This project utilizes many squared and rounded timbers for structural and aesthetic purposes, adding robust qualities to this home. Montana Timber Products offers any dimension timbers/beams in multiple grades, texture, and finish combinations. We also provide “live edge” timbers and siding that still have the bark on one or two edges.

The siding pictured above and below is part of Montana Timber Products’ ranchwood™ product line. It has a Circle sawn texture and is prefinished in “Eastern Exposure”. All prefinished products utilize Seal-Once, a 100% VOC NON TOXIC coating application; so rest assured, you will have a chemical free home inside and out.

Whether you are looking for siding, beams, flooring, or interior accents, Montana Timber Products offers a solution for your rustic needs.

Faux Beam Wraps built with Ranchwood!

This home is located in the heart of downtown McCall, Idaho.  The architect recommended Ranchwood as the best solution to mix the Craftsman design with a bit of rustic flare. 

The homeowners of this residence wanted to maintain a Craftsman design while integrating flooring and faux beam options to add a little rustic flavor.  The six color options of Ranchwood provided excellent options to finish the interior design of their home.  MTP Representative , Marty Melander, met with the contractor and architect to work on color selections, coordinated the installation and  delivery to the project.

Faux Beams and Interior Design Ideas

Vertical Beam Wrap

Exterior and interior beam options often take the place of appearance grade timbers.  A lower cost solution; these wraps require excellent craftsmanship by contractors to ensure the corners are mitered correctly.  Also, it’s important for the wood to acclimate at the interior temperature prior to installation.  Either crafted by Montana Timber Products or by our customers, these continue to be nice options which add to the rustic décor.

Marty continues to work well with local contractors, architects, and new dealers of Ranchwood to educate on the various benefits of the product lines.  The homeowners were pretty excited to finish this remodel project off and start enjoying their place near Payette Lake in McCall.

Product: ranchwood™ wood siding and timbers. Texture: Pioneer and circle sawn.

Our latest project takes us back to an age when building a home was a communal effort and was expected to be your home for life. Harvesting and milling structural timbers and beams required the use of various types of axes. Trees were cut, and with nothing more than brawn and a blade, were hand hewn until square enough to provide structural integrity. Traditional hand hewn beams are a rarity these days; Fortunately, Montana Timber Products’ ranchwood™,  Pioneer series timbers and barn board can provide you the comfort and nostalgia inducing authenticity you desire for your own homestead.

The above photo features 2×12 hand hewn and Pioneer, Channel Rustic, horizontal siding, and random width circle sawn, Shiplap, vertical siding. The Shiplap siding, like the timbers, are prefinished with the Montana Timber Products’ Western Exposure color, a part of the ranchwood™ product line.

A close up of the hand hewn and Pioneer siding gives you a better look at its rustic texture and appearance. Channel Rustic siding is a great choice for multiple styles of builds. This project chose to use chinking, but many people opt to leave the “reveal” of the channel. One can always build with channel and add the chinking at a later date for a more traditional look and additional insulation.

Below, the random width, vertical Shiplap siding is featured in Montana Timber Products’ ranchwood™ Tackroom with a circle sawn texture.

One of our latest projects takes us back to Montana to the beautiful mountain town of Whitefish. This build utilizes Montana Timber Products ranchwood™ product line to create a very unique fusion between traditional mountain rustic and the southwestern stucco style one would find in Arizona and New Mexico.

The aesthetic 1×6 sheathing, 3×8 rafters, 1×6 deck railing, and Barn Series timbers all feature the rustic circle sawn texture offered in the Montana Timber Products line.

The deck railing provides a detailed perspective of the circle sawn texture, replicating primitive milling processes. The Montana Timber Products ranchwood™, AquaFir™, and  ranchwood™-weathered product lines are an excellent reclaimed barn wood alternative. Each product line offers color and texture choice, and are cut to order, resulting in a 5-10% waste factor compared to 35-40% with reclaimed.

Similar to the roof sheathing, the half inch spaced soffit pictured above contrasts nicely with the 1×8 vertical ship lap. All Montana Timber Products’ prefinished wood siding utilizes Seal-Once, a 100% NO VOC waterproofer with a 10 year limited warranty against water ingress.

A combination of stone, corrugated steel, cedar shingles, and Montana Timber Products siding and timbers create a another spectacular build.  The mix of exterior products compliment each other well.

As seen above, the architect chose to use a custom profiled 2×12 channel rustic siding for the horizontal application and 1×6 shiplap for the vertical cable areas. This 2×12 horizontal profile provides an opportunity to add chinking later and an excellent shadow line of depth. Everything produced by Montana Timber Products is made to order at the customer’s desired specifications, minimizing waste and allowing for a truly custom build.

This entire siding and timber package is part of the Montana Timber Products ranchwood™ product line. The timbers feature a weathered wire brushed texture. The siding features a more traditional circle saw texture replicating the primitive, historic milling process.
