barn wood

I have a barn guy.  I love that I have a barn guy.  And this amazing barn guy, also know as Shaun Garvey, the owner of Berkshire Barns, brought me some barn wood.  I've never seen planks this wide - some of them 18"! - and they are going to make the most amazing studio flooring.  Ever.  The wide ones are hemlock from a Huntington barn from 1750 and the narrow ones are from an 1800's Hatfield tobacco barn.  They are even locally sourced!

Tomorrow's "day off" will include some power washing.
