We are proud to present our traditional handcrafted furniture The natural aged
look, with unique nail holes and weather checking, cannot be matched by any
distressed wood process.
This is the real thing - a process that was started
nearly a century ago by carpenters who used nothing but handsaws, chisels and
hammers. The beauty of reclaimed wood from old barns, granaries and houses is
enhanced by the fine quality craftsmanship of the furniture we create at Barn
Burner Inc.
We have been in business for 20 years and have gotten into the
business of recycling the old barns and using virtually every piece of the
barn. We market raw material which is used to create beautiful furniture or to
remodel your house. We also create furniture, signs with various sayings etc.
We process and market reclaimed lumber and create handcrafted furniture.
Our products can be found in stores across the United States. We are always
looking for new barns to recycle.
We can do custom work on the furniture. Just contact us and we can talk about
the options available.
Barn Burner's "History Chips" are a new brain storm of founder Jerry Krusemark.
If you have read Barn Burner's history you will know that its roots are Jerry Krusemark's
wood burnings on mattes he constructed using barnwood siding.
Whenever Jerry found a barn he was able to harvest for his work, it continued to haunt
him that there was so much more material he wasn't able to use in his work. He has always
loved to examine the structures construction and imagine what it took for the pioneers to
create such masterpieces; many of which are massive. Some with beautifully cut rock, block
foundations, which even with todays equipment could be a challange to munipulate.
These are some of Jerry's thought processes and interests that have developed what we
like to call our History Chips.
Over the past 8 years we have been marketing 9x4 inch barn wood signs to retail stores
throughout the country. In doing so we have developed a catalog of expressions,
sentiments and readings that number over 2,000.
Jerry thought we could use these readings in another format. Let's tell the story of our
Mid West Plains, history from the perspective we see on the farms. These barns have been
a very large part of our American agricultural history. They homed the livestock, pets and food
for those creatures. These barns served for the hospital and nursery for the animals the
farmers nurtured for not only his own families livelyhood and wellbeing also for marketing
to the public.
These little "History Chips" are Jerry's way of passing on through a little humor or message the history he grew up with and loves.
The little 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" wood "chip" has a sticker adhered to it with a message you
choose printed on a barn wood picture background. The enclosed label has a picture of
the barn your wood chip came from and a number so you are able to learn of the history
of the barn your chip came from.
