The 1800’s gold rush is responsible for laying the foundation to much of the cities, infrastructure, and shipping hubs of the Western United States. Gold prospecting drove Western Expansion and the wealth that it generated trickled down through many aspects of life and supported the creation of many industries. Few people were successful in the hunt for gold, yet many found prosperity in adjacent industries such as forestry to support the booming development. This week’s featured build pays tribute to a part of American history with a unique mining themed resort home in Washington state.

The designers of this project appropriately chose Montana Timber Products as their supplier of rustic wood siding and timbers.

Telluride, Colorado- originally founded as a mining town in 1875 named Columbia, but confused with a California town by the same name, was renamed Telluride in 1887 after the gold telluride minerals found in other parts of Colorado. This old, beautiful mining town with some of the most rugged terrain and weather in the Western United States is a classic example of the fearlessness and drive of the Western pioneers.

This build utilizes a combination of stone, made-to-rust steel, and AquaFir™, Wire Brushed, Shiplap natural wood siding; all in a varying degree of earth tones to blend with the natural landscape.

Authentic Reclaimed Corral Board

Where: Minnesota

What: Upycycled shipping container homes with rustic reclaimed Corral Board siding.

Solution: Mixed texture Band Sawn and Circle Sawn Square Edge Corral Board, reclaimed barn wood with authentic fastener Holes and bands of moss.

Product: Corral Board Silver Patina Authentic Reclaimed Barn Wood

This week’s featured project takes us to Minnesota, one of the spectacular beauties of the Midwest. In recent years there has been a trend of upcycling used shipping containers as space efficient homes. The surplus of imports over exports utilizing shipping containers in the United States has caused a surplus in empty shipping containers. Surprisingly, the cost and environmental impact of shipping these empty shipping containers back over seas outweighs the production of new ones. Innovative people are upcycling these surplus, structurally sound shipping containers into alternative, sustainable, space efficient homes. The idea of upcycling is based on the principle of utilizing available non-virgin materials. The use of authentic reclaimed barn wood lives on the same principle of upcycling available materials before creating new ones. Montana Timber Products’ Corral Board authentic reclaimed barn wood is a great way to bring a piece of Western history to your home while lending a helping hand to Mother Nature.

The photo below is a great representation of the beauty of Silver Patina reclaimed Corral Board natural wood siding. Silver Patina Corral Board gets its beauty from Mother Nature and nothing more. Corral Board‘s exposure to decades of harsh elements creates strong wood that is free of stress and has an extremely low moisture content, making it a reliable, long lasting siding material.

Our product, Corral Board, is an authentic reclaimed wood product that encompasses the history of the West. Weathered from decades of prairie winds, sun, and precipitation, it is left with a silver patina finish, bands of moss, and authentic fastener holes.

Whether used for siding, trim, or paneling, Corral Board will bring an authentic beauty to your home. We offer this product in 1×4-1×12, 2×4-2×12, random length 4′-20′. The species is Douglas Fir and Pine.
