Walls Worth Touching
Reclaimed Paneling That Transforms Spaces
A reclaimed wood wall is the fastest way to add warmth, texture, and character to any room. Whether it's a single accent wall behind a bed, a full living room installation, or exterior barn-style cladding, reclaimed siding creates an instant connection between your space and the history of the Pacific Northwest.
We mill all our siding and paneling profiles from salvaged timber in our Portland facility. You choose the species, profile, width, and surface finish — we handle the rest. Every board is de-nailed, kiln-dried, and precision-milled with tight tolerances for hassle-free installation.
For exterior applications, we recommend naturally weather-resistant species like Western Red Cedar or properly finished old-growth Douglas Fir. For interior accent walls, the full range of species and surface treatments is available.

Profiles
Available Wall Profiles
Each profile creates a different visual rhythm on your wall. We can mill any of these from your choice of reclaimed species. Don't see what you need? Our custom milling service can create any profile you specify.
Shiplap
Overlapping rabbet joint that creates a distinctive shadow line between boards. The defining look of modern farmhouse and coastal design. Our most requested wall profile.
Tongue-and-Groove (T&G)
Interlocking boards with a tight, flush seam. Creates a clean, continuous surface without gaps. Classic profile for both walls and ceilings that suits modern and traditional spaces equally.
Board-and-Batten
Wide boards with narrow battens covering the seams. Vertical orientation creates height and drama. Historically the most common barn siding method in the Pacific Northwest.
Channel Rustic
Similar to shiplap but with a deeper channel between boards, creating a more pronounced shadow line. Common on historic Pacific Northwest commercial buildings.
Nickel Gap
Tongue-and-groove profile with a small reveal (approximately the width of a nickel) between boards. Modern, clean aesthetic with just enough shadow line to define each plank.
Rough-Sawn Board
Unprocessed reclaimed boards with original saw marks and surface texture intact. Applied horizontally, vertically, or diagonally for maximum rustic character.
Species
Species for Siding & Paneling
Species selection depends on whether your application is interior or exterior, the desired color tone, and the level of character you want. For full species details, see our lumber grades guide.
| Species | Character | Exterior Use | Interior Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Douglas Fir | Warm amber tones with tight vertical grain. Our most versatile siding species. | Good with proper finish | Excellent |
| Western Red Cedar | Naturally weather-resistant with aromatic scent. Reddish-brown to silver-gray. | Excellent — the premium exterior choice | Excellent |
| Barn Wood (Mixed) | Weathered gray surfaces from decades of sun and rain exposure. Mixed species. | Decorative only (not structural siding) | Excellent — ultimate rustic aesthetic |
| Pine (Various) | Pale straw to warm honey. Knotty character. Accepts stain beautifully. | Requires sealed finish | Excellent |
| White Oak | Golden tones, closed grain, exceptional durability. Premium option. | Excellent — naturally rot-resistant | Premium accent applications |

Popular Applications
Bedroom Accent Wall
A shiplap or T&G wall behind the bed creates an instant focal point. Horizontal orientation in warm Fir or Pine complements neutral bedding and modern furniture.
Recommended: Shiplap or Nickel Gap
Kitchen Backsplash Area
Reclaimed paneling above countertops (away from direct water exposure) adds farmhouse charm. Sealed with polyurethane for easy wipe-down cleaning.
Recommended: Tongue-and-Groove
Ceiling Treatment
Covering a ceiling in reclaimed T&G planking adds overhead warmth to any room. Especially effective in vaulted or tray ceilings where the surface is highly visible.
Recommended: Tongue-and-Groove or Nickel Gap
Exterior Barn-Style Siding
Board-and-batten or channel rustic from Cedar or old-growth Fir gives new construction an authentic Pacific Northwest agricultural aesthetic.
Recommended: Board-and-Batten or Channel Rustic
Commercial Interiors
Restaurants, breweries, retail shops, and offices use reclaimed paneling for brand identity. We supply matched sets for large-scale installations with consistent color and character.
Recommended: Any profile — mixed-width popular
Wainscoting
Lower-wall treatment (typically 32" – 48" height) with a cap rail. Classic elegance in a dining room, hallway, or bathroom using vertical T&G or shiplap.
Recommended: Shiplap or T&G, vertical orientation
Finishing
Surface Finish Options
The surface treatment you choose dramatically affects the final look. We can process paneling to any level of refinement — from raw, weathered barn board to smooth, sanded, and sealed planks.
For interior accent walls, most clients prefer a wire-brushed or skip-sanded finish that preserves character while being comfortable to touch. For exterior siding, we recommend smooth-planed surfaces that accept stain and sealant evenly.
Raw / Weathered
Original barn-wood surface preserved as-is. Maximum rustic character. Interior decorative use only.
Wire-Brushed
Soft grain removed, hard grain highlighted. Creates subtle relief texture. Our most popular interior finish.
Skip-Sanded
Light sanding preserves surface character while removing splinters. Comfortable to touch but still visibly aged.
Smooth-Planed
Fully surfaced to smooth finish. Grain and color preserved, surface marks minimized. Best for paint or stain application.
Pre-Oiled
Natural oil finish applied in our shop. Enhances grain color and provides basic protection. Ready to install.
Pre-Stained
Custom stain color applied before shipping. Match an existing room color or create a specific design palette.
