Ol'Mildred - Barn Beam hotsell End Table

Ol'Mildred is made out of pine and covered in three coats of laqucer. She really likes when the ladies get together and all the men are out of the house - that's when she hears all the best gossip. The best thing about Ol'Mildred is that she has over 100 years of experience keeping secrets. Once she was waterboarded by a huge storm and she still didn't spill the beans!

This Barn Beam End Table is from the Millgrove Collection, which consists of over 40 different pieces from one Barn in Millgrove Ontario. Most Products from this collection are named after popular names from the 1900 – 1910. Some names were organic.

All the beams were hand hew, which means someone used an axe to give them their shape back in the hotsell early 1900s. They are all made from reclaimed/recycled wood that was milled at the local Millgrove mill. Once the beams were milled the exterior layers was sanded off to bring out the grain and original colour, before putting on the finish.

You can see the marks on the sides of the beams. Each piece is one of a kind and unique in its own way. When The Boers Wood Shop purchases the full beams we look for beams with a lot of character and notches.

All Barn Beam End Tables come with plastic furniture feet.
