Reclaimed Planters!

It has been a busy spring for Old Legacy Timbers.  In addition to the long list of barns to be taken down, we have installed three new reclaimed floors, completed the interior on an incredible relocated Log Cabin (it deserves a blog post of its own) and shipped out many semi loads of wood all over the country.


Then there are these cool planters ... we have had quite a bit of interest including a catalog.  The samples pictured here were built by an awesome local woodworker, Dave Carrier (dxdfurniture).  Love giving ideas to someone talented enough to put his creative license to good use.  


These are our window box planters:  This is 21" wide and 11" across and 7" high.  Each side is unique and we have included an insert but can be replaced with pots.






Next is our second window box planter which is 21" long x 11" high and 8" tall.  Each is built solidly with screws and should last another 100 years.


Our third planter is hexagonal in design and measures 16" across and 12" high.  It fits a 12.5" pot perfectly.  Since each planter is handmade each will be unique and thus special.

The reclaimed mantlepiece




Nothing gives a room charm or warmth like a fireplace.  While the fire itself lends the physical warmth, it is the whole package that warms the room through all the seasons!  Here are some of the beautiful hand hewn mantles Old Legacy has repurposed and we think their charm speaks for themselves.


The old growth species of wood are denser and have more color and texture than anything you could buy from a box store.  The former life of reclaimed wood is evident, each nail hole and weathered line leaving a footnote for the new owner.



The real beauty of these hand hewn logs is that they range from rustic to contemporary to elegant.  The history of decades of use lends an authenticity and charm not found in new growth wood.  Enjoy!
