If it is desired to use an authentic reclaimed barn wood on a home this size, it can be difficult to source enough material of the same appearance. If you desire to go with an authentic reclaimed barn wood, Montana Timber Products’ extensive inventory or Corral Board will meet your needs. Corral Board, a true reclaimed barn wood with authentic fastener holes and bands of moss features a silver patina finish provided by decades of exposure to the harsh elements of Mother Nature. Alternatively, ranchwood™, Montana Timber Products’ flagship rustic reclaimed barn wood alternative, can provide you with the similar appearance to true reclaimed barn wood while allowing you to choose any combination of the many color, texture, and profile options.

Our flagship product, ranchwood™ is Montana Timber Products’ chemical free, kiln dried, alternative milled rough stock wood.

As an ideal reclaimed lumber alternative, the aesthetically pleasing rustic barn wood ranchwood™ is the result of a environmentally safe production process.

Offering uncompromising natural, rustic beauty, ranchwood™ is typically less expensive than antique reclaimed barnwood.

rrr-6-entryContrasting horizontal shiplap profile with a reveal of ranchwood™ Eastern and  the reverse board batten profile of ranchwood™ Yellowstone extenuates the rich color , providing depth to the the siding with a 3-dimensional exposure.

Wire Brushed and Circle Sawn are Montana Timber Products typical texturizing options. Montana Timber Products is a custom millwork shop.

Added physical and aesthetic depth to the wood grain is available as the Wire Brushed option.

Greater surface area is added during the texturizing process, allowing Seal-Once, 100% NO VOC waterfproofer to more effectively penetrate the wood.

Seal-Once is guaranteed for ten years from water ingress and is safe for exterior and interior use, pets and children.

rrr-4-full-backThe Yellowstone color is the lighter color, vertically installed on the top levels. Yellowstone’s lighter tones of gray — representing weathering through long windswept days — are perhaps one of the most treasured colors utilized from the feel of the old barn pallet.

Montana Timber Products does not use degenerative chemicals like some companies do to achieve texture and color.

The varying milling practices used at different points in time determined the various textures that are seen in traditional rustic reclaimed barn wood. Dating back to the more primitive practices of non-mechanized hand tools, structural timbers were commonly Hand Hewn with an adze or an axe. Montana Timber Products offers two texture offerings to replicate these traditional rustic hewing techniques. The options are Hand Hewn and Pioneer. Additionally, more commonly seen rustic siding texture options are Circle Sawn and Wire Brushed. The Circle Sawn texture commonly seen on rustic reclaimed barn wood is created from the large circular saw blades used in more traditional milling practices. The Wire Brushed option, like the Circle Sawn, adds physical and aesthetic depth to the wood grain. In addition to the aesthetic beauty added from the texturing process, greater surface area is created, which allows the Seal-Once, 100% NO VOC waterproofer to more effectively penetrate the wood.

All Montana Timber Products natural wood siding is crafted from new, non-chemically treated wood.
