Studies have shown that on average, Americans spend about 90% or more of their time indoors (source: the inside story: a guide to Indoor Air Quality. U.S. EPA). The design of these interior spaces has a major affect on human health. Wood in general and specifically reSAWN’s wood and finishes can contribute to improving indoor air quality. Often specified in environments where allergies to dust and particulates are a concern, wood is naturally hypo-allergenic and its smooth surface makes it easy to keep clean and free from particle build up unlike carpeting. Wood can also improve indoor air quality by naturally moderating humidity. Wood absorbs or releases moisture in order to maintain an equilibrium with the surrounding air. reSAWN’s materials are specifically made to contibute towards a healthier indoor environment. Our engineered materials consist of 9-layers of birch bonded together with non-toxic glues and contain no urea formaldehyde. Our hardwax oil finish is made from natural plant based products and is 100% VOC-free. The goals of sustainable design embrace not only environmental concerns but also the physical health and psychological well-being of the building’s occupants. Wood is a warm and comforting material that provides a direct connection with nature – a tenant of biophilic design.

This early nineteenth century barn was renovated with minimum change in structure or footprint. Originally a stone bank barn with stables and paddock facing south on the lower level and a large hayloft on the upper level, it has been transformed into a residence that celebrates the simple form, openness, and stone and wood finishes of the original structure.
All interior structural framing walls were left in place, while beams were selectively removed and reinforced to incorporate a new second floor that accommodates two bedrooms including a master bedroom, two bathrooms, study, dressing area, and closets … READ MORE.

Logs can be cut in several different ways to produce materials of varying aesthetics and dimensional stability. Understanding how these cuts are made in relation to the growth rings of the tree is the key to understanding the different look and performance of each cut. plain sawn is the most common cut of wood and is featured thoughout the Plateau collection.  Rift & quarter sawn white oak is highly desired for both its clean aesthetic and dimensional stability.  Read more reSAWN-Cuts-of-Wood.

Historically used throughout Europe and by early American settler’s to preserve and enhance the beauty of natural wood surfaces, Hardwax-Oil finishes are being rediscovered for their many unique benefits from the beauty they preserve to their ease of maintenance. Our Hardwax-Oil is a modern take on this traditional finish and has been improved with technology to connect the oil to the wood fibers by means of a molecular reaction, resulting in more durable protection. The natural oil penetrates deeply into the wood pores, bonding with the wood fibers while the wax remains on the surface to create a beautiful matte finish and to form a protective, resistant layer. Our Hardwax-Oil finish is ALL NATURAL, non-pollutant and completely non-toxic. It does NOT contain biocides, preservatives, lead-benzene and is 100% VOC-free (Volatile Organic Compounds).

antique reclaimed wood lets us connect with nature and human history in an unprecedented way. long before Columbus founded the new world, the seedlings of the great North American forests were taking root. left undisturbed for centuries, these seedlings were able to slowly grow into massive trees, basking in the ample pollution-free air and water of pre-industrial America. this slow growth and natural habitat is key to the unique beauty and strength of antique reclaimed wood. slow growth produces trees with much tighter growth rings and consequently finer grain. it also produces significantly more heartwood, which is stronger and more durable than younger sapwood.

rift & quarter sawn white oak floors contribute to the zen-like atmosphere of the newly constructed dormitories at the prestigious Haverford College. Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects designed the buildings to work in concert with the landscape to form a sense of community that is both contained and enhanced by nature.
