spotlight project :: UPPER MAKEFIELD FARM
In historic UPPER MAKEFIELD township sits a sprawling farm, sprinkled with welcoming cottages, a renovated barn and a cozy main house. the nearly century-old buildings have been completely gutted, yet speak to the rich history of the area. Upper Makefield Township is memorialized as the turning point of the American Revolution at Washington Crossing Historic Park, aptly named for the Christmas evening George Washington led American forces across the Delaware River in 1776. Callaghan Interior Design, a PA-based firm with over 30 years of design experience, is leading this restoration project and specified several of reSAWN’s designs for flooring, wall cladding, and custom millwork:
RECLAIMED CHESTNUT
Rustic, strong, and deeply rooted in our history, American chestnut is an exquisite wood. Once dominating our eastern forests, and providing a seemingly endless supply of straight-grained, decay-resistant wood, these trees fell to an Asian-based fungal blight at the turn of the 20th century that all but wiped out the species. The blight left behind a mass of fallen timbers used for countless homes and buildings throughout the remainder of the century. Since 1983, the American Chestnut Foundation has been working to restore these trees. The foundation uses the backcross breeding method in an effort utilize the blight-resistant characteristics of the Chinese chestnut, while still maintaining the integrity of the American species. While the foundation works to restore balance to our forest ecosystem, reSAWN is working to preserve and reclaim chestnut from historic structures, recapturing the beauty of these antique woods. WORMWOOD , so named for the generous amount of worm holes found throughout the wood, includes defining character marks such as mineral staining, nail holes, and knots, and ranges in color from light tans to deep browns. See the beauty of WORMWOOD reclaimed chestnut on display in the Ambler Boiler House project, and this PA-based Barn Renovation.
