Barnwood

I cut a whole bunch of logs about 5 years ago, and they've been weathering nicely as lumber. 

 It's all douglas fir, which is a tough, nice weathering wood.  It silvers up nicely.

 I like building stuff out of it because it makes it look like its' been there for a hundred years.  I love the texture of a rough sawn board.  you see this a lot on the old barns and it's hard to get any other way than just time and weather. 

 The cracks and patina are what I like.  If I want smooth lumber I can go to the local hardware store.  Barn doors built of this just seem more right.  You expect a barn door to be weathered.
