reSAWN’s award-winning CHARRED collection pays homage to the traditional Japanese technique of “shou-sugi-ban” aka “yakisugi” without being literal. reSAWN uses domestic wood species whenever possible, including Cypress from the Southern US and domestic White Oak, Black Walnut, Red Oak & Ash as well as reclaimed woods from the US. The designs in the CHARRED collection have been carefully developed using modern finishes and incorporating reSAWN’s many years of experience in the architectural & design specification market. reSAWN manufacturers charred wood products for a range of applications including exterior siding, interior wall cladding & flooring, and custom furniture.
The tour includes 8 stops beginning on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and concluding in Park Slope Brooklyn.

CHEERS, MATE! Introducing the newest flooring designs recently added to reSAWN TIMBER co.’s popular EXPATS collection – CHEERS and TODDY.
This past weekend we participated in the 2016 Architectural Digest Design Show in New York along side Cartwright NY. The Architectural Digest Design Show (ADDS) is the essential showcase for luxury design. The four-day fair showcases design offerings from more than 400 brands, including well-known manufacturers and independent makers.
reSAWN is pleased to introduce 4 new designs on reclaimed hemlock inspired by reclaimed barn siding. The reclaimed hemlock is wirebrushed with a stain/sealer. The colors have been carefully curated by our product developer to reflect the colors typically found on reclaimed barn siding. Designers can now specify a reclaimed wood product that looks like barn siding without the concerns of lead paint that can sometimes be found on old barns. The beautifully rustic reclaimed hemlock adds variation and fluidity to these designs while the stain/sealer allows for a more consistent all over color than can be achieved with reclaimed barn siding.
BOLLOCKS is the newest addition to our EXPATS collection – a lush warm grey wide plank white oak floor.
