Capturing the spirit of the mountains. I am constantly impressed by the ingenuity and creativity I see here in Asheville and surrounding mountain towns of Western North Carolina. From breakthroughs in the world of beer brewing to the amazing culinary arts scene, Asheville has inspired me to design pieces that speak to evolving tastes. This season’s cover art displays our local depiction of the Worlds Fair; highlighting one our most treasured and inspirational assets: The Blue Ridge Mountains. Over the years, the World’s Fair has represented technological inventions and advancements, nation branding, as well as cultural exchanges in promoting peace and sustainability. In our business and production process, we work very hard to represent similar values. In order to compete within the atmosphere of global competition, we find it absolutely necessary to take advantage of new principals and advances in manufacturing. We aim to do this in a way that does not distract from the quality and design of our trademark standard. While we are a young, six-year-old company, we truly understand the value of building our company on a solid foundation. We value the materials we work with everyday and take the utmost care in production. Hoss Haley, our featured artist for this season’s Lookbook, inspires us with his eclectic use of various metals. Haley’s expertise within this medium adds contrast and depth to our designs. We feel sure his collaborative work will please your eye as much as it does ours. In our Barn To Table story, we celebrate our region’s thriving microbrewery scene featuring the Heidi Beer Garden Table. Here we explore the importance of fellowship over good food and drink and take a look at Autumn’s prized apple crop. From home brewing hard cider to growing your own orchard, we close this section with a special recipe for classic apple pie with butter crust, because after all, we want our pieces to become part of your seasonal celebrations. See what we do. See what we like. See who we are. We look forward to getting to know you. DARREN GREEN, Founder THE OLD WOOD CO. OUR MISSION The Old Wood Co. specializes in using the finest old, reclaimed wood available. Along with environmentally friendly and health-conscious finishing methods, company-wide recycling and upcycling efforts, and ethical business practices, we strive to give our customers the quality and service they expect and deserve. 2 the oLD WOOD COmpany the oLD WOOD COmpany theoldwoodco.com 3 Our Story An Environmentally & Socially Conscious Company “I set out to develop a company that could compete in the marketplace and also be immune to the onslaught of lowcost Asian imports. It is about giving people options, suggestions, and one-of-a-kind products tailor-made for their homes. I believe most people are starting to really care about and consider the origin of their purchases. It’s not always about who offers the lowest price, but who offers the highest value.” —Darren Green, founder In 2007, founder Darren Green wanted to develop a different company—one that considered both environmentally and socially conscious issues. It was not a fad or a buzzword, it was the idea that businesses should care about the origin the Asian import market virtually destroyed the domestic of the product they sell; the materials, the labor, all should the uniqueness of the design, customization options, and be considered. Having worked in the home furnishing high level of service. manufacturing of the home furnishing industry, which has been so vital to the people of North Carolina. He realized what made a product special was the quality of materials, industry since 1999, Darren saw firsthand how quickly THE WOOD SHOP Environmental Initiatives We are located in Asheville, North Carolina, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. To be more specific, we operate out of a 10,000-square-foot space in the River Arts District— the very epicenter of the artist community in Western North Carolina. As a commitment to sustainability, we inventory more than 6,000 board feet of reclaimed lumber at any one time. It’s stacked by species, size and thickness, which enables us to choose the very best lumber to complete the project. We have equipped the building with LED lighting throughout 95% of the space, giving us an energy efficient alternative to the standard fluorescent or HID warehouse lights. An 800-square-foot finishing room is also equipped with a highly efficient filtration system, which is extremely beneficial to the indoor air quality. • Use of old, reclaimed lumber taken from structures deemed irreparable Our crew of talented mountain craftsmen consists of classically trained woodworkers, wood finishers, blacksmiths, metalworkers and metal finishers. Each one of them evokes the essence of their skill in each finished piece. Every step, from selecting the reclaimed wood to packaging for transport, is meticulously examined to ensure the quality meets the standards we set for ourselves; needless to say, we’re hard on our own work. • Use of LED lighting in 95% of the woodshop Come visit us at 99 Riverside Drive in Asheville’s River Arts District. We are open to the public Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., by appointment only.

This deciduous hardwood reached heights up to 150 feet, 10 feet in diameter, and grew from Maine to Mississippi and from the Atlantic coast across the Appalachian Mountains to the Ohio River Valley. Many wild animals depended on the nuts, which would fall in such abundance, blanketing the forest floor. Rural folk depended on the nuts too (as did their livestock), for they were tasty and nutritious. pictured : chestnut giants, great smoky mountains, western north carolina, 1910 theoldwoodco.com 5 Sketch Desk Simplicity and Function.

All of the structures slated for reclamation have been deemed a liability and unsafe by the landowner. After a thorough inspection of the structure, and calculating the usable board feet of the material, a deal is struck and the dismantling process begins. Depending on the season and the conditions, our team of reclamation experts will often camp on-site, dismantling the structure board by board, carefully removing each iron nail one at a time, taking extra care not to damage the lumber in the process. The lumber is then kiln dried to stabilize the moisture content to between six to eight percent while also exterminating any unwanted insects that might otherwise destroy the wood over time. Once received, the lumber is then sorted by length and condition and carefully racked and placed in inventory. American Chestnut Castanea dentata Blue Ridge SOURCED barn wood As barns that stood proudly on family land for generations become structurally unsafe, The Old Wood Company carefully restores their charm and integrity. It is with great care and pride that, board by board, we unearth the history of these treasured, iconic structures. It’s like unwrapping a present, removing the layers of dust and dirt to reveal the beauty of an old-growth piece of lumber. Once exposed, the lumber will showcase all of its history. Nail holes represent the original construction purpose of the material; worm holes highlight the vulnerability of the wood to the outside elements; tight knots showcase the continued growth and strength of the tree; growth rings tell the age and seasonal pattern of the tree’s growth; and unique grain patterns explain how the board was originally milled. These are the traits that make working with reclaimed lumber so incredibly intriguing. 8 the oLD WOOD COmpany In the early 1900s, the American chestnut provided timber unrivaled in quality. Straight-grained and strong, easy to work and rot resistant, chestnut lumber was used for everything from structural barn beams to furniture. That time is gone. It is estimated one out of four trees in Appalachian forests was an American chestnut prior to the arrival of the deadly chestnut blight, a fungal disease that destroys the bark tissues. Though it’s believed the fungus was introduced in the late 1800s, carried over on the boughs of blight-resistant Asian chestnut trees, the first recorded incident was in 1904 at the Bronx Zoo in New York City. The blight moved outward at a remarkable pace, killing an estimated four billion trees. Today, all that is believed to remain of this once grand species is fewer than 100 large trees with girths of more than 24 inches. But thanks to developments in genetics and plant pathology, the chestnut can reign again. Established in 1983 by a group of scientists, The American Chestnut Foundation is leading the way in restoring the tree to its native range within the woodlands of the eastern United States using a scientific research and breeding program known as backcrossing. The technique cross-pollinates the American chestnut with the blight-resistant Chinese chestnut. The first generation hybrids are then bred back with American trees, diluting the foreign genes and bringing the native ones to the fore. The result is a tree that looks like an American chestnut, but is blight resistant. White Oak The red oak’s stout branches grow at right angles to the stem, forming a narrow, rounded crown. It grows rapidly and is tolerant of many soils and varied situations, although it prefers well-drained stream borders. Hailed as one of the most important oaks for timber production in North America, the wood is highly valued for its interior uses. Lacking the tyloses indicative of white oak, the red oak’s wood grain is porous. WALNUT Juglans nigra Quercus alba The walnut tree is one of the most versatile hardwoods on Native to eastern North America, and found from Maine to the planet. In addition to yielding exceptionally tasty nuts, Georgia and as far west as Minnesota and Texas, white oak its timber is treasured by carpenters and sculptors alike. is a long-lasting tree. Specimens are known to have lived Walnut trees are hard to miss. A mature tree can tower up for more than 600 years. Typically reaching heights of 80 to 100 feet with a leaf canopy stretching up to 70 feet. The to 100 feet, with diameters of 36 to 48 inches, white oak can tree is also very durable, with some living 200 years. There develop a massive crown with its lower branches stretching are nearly two dozen types of walnut trees in the world, though most are native to the United States. Walnut trees far out above the ground. are predominantly grown in North America, with California Slow growing and relatively rot resistant, white oak was a being the largest purveyor of the trees. It takes 10 growing signature wood used in Gustav Stickley’s mission-style seasons for most walnut trees to produce mature fruit. furniture during the turn-of-the-century Arts and Crafts Movement. White oaks have cellular structures called tyloses, which prevent water from passing. This leak-proof characteristic is why the wood is often used for making wine and whiskey barrels. Other uses for the hardwood include interior construction and ship building; the most notable vessel was the USS Constitution, also known as Old Iron Sides, built in 1794. Red Oak Quercus rubra A native of North America, the red oak grows in slightly acidic soil from southeastern Canada to Alabama and as far west as Oklahoma. In forests, the tree grows straight and tall, upward of 115 feet with a trunk diameter up to three feet. Open-grown trees do not get as tall, but can develop a stouter trunk up to six feet in diameter. theoldwoodco.com 9 Wood Finishes Characteristics & Variances due to the nature of our reclaimed lumber, knots, nail holes, worm holes, multiple grain patterns and other natural characteristics are completely acceptable and add character to the pieces. due to the live edge treatment on some designs, table depths may vary within one to two inches. reclaimed wood characteristics 1 Knot Nail Hole 2 Worm Hole finish variances 1.

This section of frequently asked questions offers littleknown facts and bits of interesting information, which should help clarify the process. the worst and hope for the best. However, we take the utmost care and caution when approaching each important decision. After years of deconstruction under our belts, we have found that the dismantling of each barn must be approached on a project-by-project basis, taking into consideration the condition of the support members and roof as well as the foundation. 1.Where does most of the lumber come from? The majority of the barn wood we use comes from deteriorating wooden structures, sometimes found just around the corner from our woodshop in Asheville, or a few hours drive to neighboring Tennessee. 9. What is your favorite type of wood and why? negotiate an agreement with the landowner, and reclamation soon follows. 2. How do you source the 3. How old are the barns you take down? barns you dismantle? We find that most of these Oftentimes, multigenerational landowners take the initial step to clear their property of dilapidated structures by contacting us. These are buildings that have been used as livestock barns, dairy barns, and the like. After an initial inspection to determine the quality and condition of the lumber, we 16 the oLD WOOD COmpany structures were built sometime in the early 1900s; some even date back the to the late 1800s. That means the lumber milled to build these barns came from old-growth oak trees, which were most likely planted around the turn of the 19th century. 4. Any interesting historical facts of any barns you’ve taken down? Yes, some were built during the pre and post Civil War era. Other barns have been on family farms for generations. 5. What kind of interesting artifacts do you find? Oftentimes we find vintage farm and woodworking tools, and, of course, the occasional family of bats. 6. How long does it take to dismantle a barn? Some barns can be dismantled in a few days depending on the size and scope of the project, while others take upward of several weeks to complete. In milder seasons, the team of reclamation experts will elect to camp out on the property, using scrap wood to make fire for cooking and warmth. 7. Is this a dangerous profession? Like most construction professions, safety is the number one concern in deconstruction. It is always a challenge to not only dismantle the barn safely, but to do so in a way that protects the material from being damaged. 8. Any scary moments while dismantling? When dealing with structures that have been sitting untouched or neglected for as long as these buildings have, there will always be moments when one must make quick decisions. We plan for In our line of work, finding American Chestnut is always very exciting. It could be compared to a miner panning for hours, days, or weeks and finally striking gold. While many landowners claim to have American Chestnut, it is often not the case. So to come across a barn built with that coveted species is always thrilling. 10. What do you do with all those nails? All nails are removed from the boards prior to kiln drying. The nails have been used to adorn small projects, but most often, they are gathered for recycling and taken to the scrap metal yard for a small payoff. theoldwoodco.com 17 dining Harvest Steel Dining TABLE Shown in Oak Weathered Grey; metal finish in Black Matte Wrinkle See page 24 18 the oLD WOOD COmpany theoldwoodco.com 19 SCOTCH DRINK Table Collaboration: A WOODShop AND A METAL ARTIST FEATURED Artist: Hoss Haley Working as a visual artist for over twenty years, Hoss Haley’s work appears in multiple collections including the Mint Museum of Craft + Design, New Gallery of Modern Art in Charlotte, NC, and Blue Spiral Gallery of Asheville, NC.

Taverns were a place to gather news, with dining tables serving as communal meeting places, enlivened by ample food and drink. Business deals could take place over dark beer and hearty fare with as much security as written contract. Perhaps it is time to bring back some of these age-old traditions, and what better way to do so than with a table hand crafted for sitting and enjoying a drink.

The ingredients for this dish are few, so start by selecting high quality apples in late summer and fall to harness the season’s classic flavor. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Filling: • 10 large apples of a multiple varieties, (not red delicious) peeled, cored and sliced thin • Juice from one lemon • 1/8 cup raw cane sugar • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes • 1 large egg white, beaten with a splash of water In a large mixing bowl, toss apple slices with lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon.

Rustic ingredients from fruit and honey to corn and wheat are easily transformed into lively brews by the careful process of fermentation. Whether you have a taste for wine or mead, frothy beer or hard cider, with the right equipment and knowledge, effervescent libations can easily succeed at home. Finding a source for high quality fruit, grain or honey is the first step to well crafted home brews. The rest is a matter of simple steps and a little bit of time, followed by bountiful reward. 36 family recipies Place flour and salt in a food processor. Pulse.

Founder Darren Green likes to keep things fresh with a side of fun by introducing a new limited edition product for market every year. He’s brought customers The Old Wood Co. dartboard, record player, and as of late, it’s the portable Wood Boom boombox and the smaller Wood Jam, both capable of blasting your favorite tunes for outdoor gatherings, tailgate parties, or on the job site. The need for tunes at The Old Wood Company’s job site, a 10,000-square-foot wood shop in Asheville’s River Arts District, inspired the portable players. Perhaps a stereo would have sufficed, but as a child of the ’80s, Green was drawn to that icon of urban youth and hiphop culture, synonymous with bands like The Beastie Boys and The Clash. “I never owned a boombox,” he says, “but sure wished I did.” Making up for lost time, Green has created a boombox for the 21st century that adheres to his modern-rustic aesthetic. Both the Wood Boom and Wood Jam feature 6.5-inch full-range speakers, 20-watt amplifiers, are affixed with 3.5mm jacks for iPad and other MP3 devices as well as headphones and electric instruments, and operate on rechargeable batteries. While the sound power rivals that of other similar products, where The Old Wood Co. always comes out on top is in the craftsmanship. More than just a boombox, Wood Boom and Wood Jam are finely crafted in veneer walnut, and feature solid walnut knobs and handforged iron handles. For easy transport, the Wood Jam also comes with a leather strap made by Asheville artisan Evar Hecht and metal buckle tag by Tina Councell of Iron Maiden Studios. And given the nuances in the wood grain and other handmade components, no two products are exactly alike. Only a limited number of each have been produced, so order your one-of-a-kind player today and get your jam on. 58 the oLD WOOD COmpany theoldwoodco.com 59 bourbon accent collections revolving dumbwaiter 21 round bourbon accent collections HOURGLASS TABLE 21 round x 22H 21rd - dw brbn 21rd –22 brbn hg only available as shown in white oak with a whey sealer metal finish in black matte wrinkle randomly selected distillery stamps only available as shown in white oak with a whey finish randomly selected distillery stamps cAPTURE barrel table 21 round x 20H cube TABLE 18L x 18D x 18H 21rd –20 brbn only available as shown in white oak with a whey sealer metal finish in black matte wrinkle randomly selected distillery stamps 1818 -18 capt shown in street art ish (left) shown in street art wheat girl (right) metal finish in natural steel charles PUB TABLE 21 round x 42H 21rd - 42 brbn hg only available as shown in white oak with a whey sealer metal finish in natural steel randomly selected distillery stamps 60 the oLD WOOD COmpany charles stool 18 ROUnd x 16H; approx. 90 lbs 18rd -16 char shown in oak iron buff cast iron base theoldwoodco.com 61 hudson accent collections Wine Shelf with Tasting Table 45L x 18D x 84H life accent collections bunching stools 10 round x 18h 4518 - 84 huds 10rd -18 life shown in oak walnut husk antiqued metal finish in natural steel shown in oak walnut husk antiqued metal finish in stainless steel TALL SIDE TABLE 16tri x 26h 16tri-26 life shown in oak weathered grey metal finish in natural steel PENLAND hanging Wine Shelf with Tasting Table 30L x 8D x 30H 3008 -30 huds Art Pedestal 24L x 12D x 42H 2412- 42 pnld shown in oak weathered grey shown in oak weathered gray metal finish in stainless steel 62 the oLD WOOD COmpany theoldwoodco.com 63 SCOTCH Moon Pie Drink Table 10L x 10D x 22H 1010-22 scot shown in walnut danish oil metal finish in natural steel accent collections Introducing, 1 Lazy Susan 19rd -DW-MP 19 round x 2H The MoonPie® Heritage Furniture Collection The Old Wood Co. captures the nostalgia of an iconic and beloved American brand that’s nearly 100 years old.

The Old Wood Co. was born in the fall of 2007 out of a desire to craft high-quality furnishings using the finest reclaimed wood available. I was amazed and excited to find the creative talent that surrounds us in the mountains of Western North Carolina. BARN All of these mountain craftsmen and women were inspired by different ideas, but several common themes remain constant: quality and intense focus in his or her craft. It has been an absolute dream to be inspired and work so closely with some of our areas’ most talented artists. Whether in textiles, pottery, wood, metal, glass, or paint, these talented artists challenge me to think about unique ways to incorporate new ideas into our product line. ORDERING IS EASY. SHIPS RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR. www.theoldwoodco.com It is with great pride that we continue to collaborate with these local artisans in a way that not only advances our designs, but also helps them realize their dream of fulfilling their life calling.
