Reclaimed Barn Wood
Reclaimed lumber and barn wood are one of a kind, green material that has been given a second life. We exclusively use reclaimed lumber that has been harvested from century-old (and older!) barns in Ohio. Reclaimed lumber is popular for many reasons: the wood's unique appearance, its contribution to green building, the history of the wood's origins, and the wood's physical characteristics such as strength, stability, and durability. Please be aware that reclaimed barn wood is rustic with small knots, color variations, nail holes, and wormholes; however, that is what gives it beauty and character.
Historical Note
This vanity model is named after Charles W. Byrd, who served as Acting Governor of the Northwest Territory before Ohio statehood. In the early 1800s, Byrd became very involved in the growing Shaker Movement and help fund the establishment of the Pleasant Hill Shaker community in Kentucky.

The pallet will be heavy and awkward, so it is imperative that you have assistance to move the pallet from the lift gate to your residence.

About Shaker Furniture
Shaker furniture makers were ahead of their time with a strong focus on utility and function. With its minimalist style, shaker furniture was designed by principles of honesty, utility, and simplicity in their search for order and harmony in their daily lives.
The Shakers were a religious group that flourished for most of the 19th century. Known as the "Shaking Quakers" for their frenzied dances and trances during religious services, the Shakers believed that salvation lay in hard work, abstention from worldly pleasures, and prayer. The Shakers were self-sufficient, growing their own food, making their own tools, and handcrafting their own furniture. They practiced celibacy with women and men and children living in their separate areas and coming together only for work, meals, and worship. All property was jointly owned within the community.
Shakers separated themselves from the outside world in an attempt to be self-sufficient. They grew their own food, constructed their own buildings, made their own tools, and handcrafted their own furniture.
Shaker furniture was built to serve a purpose. Mother Ann Lee, the movement's founder, advocated that a piece be made "plain and simple ... unembellished by any superfluities which add nothing to its goodness or durability.”
Furniture characterized three Shaker values—plainness, practicality, and pride. Because craftsmen used inexpensive local timber, the woods used in furniture varied by region. Fasteners included hand-forged nails and pins. Frame and panel structure, strong straight legs, simple button-like knobs, wide slats, and stains that didn’t show dirt were predominant features in Shaker furniture.
Accommodating their communal lifestyle, craftsmen's ingenuity blended form and function. Furniture construction was durable yet often light and compact for portability. Chairs and cupboards were built to be hung on pegs while tables had drop leaves and legs that unscrewed.
Typical of Shaker furniture, our Byrd Vanity has lean lines and unembellished surfaces. Designed in an era when styles were built for function and durability, this vanity fits in perfectly with today’s minimalist and contemporary decor.
