We supply wagon boards brushed for a rustic look and wagon boards planed for sleek, modern interiors. Whether used as flooring, cladding, or furniture, these oak wagon floors add durability, authenticity, and timeless appeal. Also available: old oak planks and reclaimed oak beams

In addition to our reclaimed oak wagon boards, we also offer other beautiful barnwood varieties such as old oak planks and barnwood cladding. These alternatives are often more affordable, come in more convenient dimensions, and are also less prone to splintering. This makes them easier to process into floors, furniture, or wall applications a practical and cost effective solution.
