Distressed Tobaccowood Reclaimed Wood Flooring

Shenandoah Plank Antique Flooring: Distressed Tobaccowood

This material is manufactured from wood that comes from heat cured tobacco barns and is FSC certified. The barns are carefully dismantled to salvage this beautiful antique lumber from these types of structures.

For a significant era in our country’s history, the economy thrived on tobacco. Farmers across the southeast constructed large open barns to hang and heat cure their tobacco. Now these buildings are no more than a reminder of days gone by. These barns, and others like them, yield a mix of pines and softwoods with a beautiful tobacco colored patina. Expect to see colorful heartwood, large knots, and occasional nail holes.

When milling this floor, Cochran's takes the utmost care to preserve the patina and characteristics left in the original face of the tobacco barn siding or structural material. Nail holes and saw kerf, dents and dings, and a wonderful palette of reds and browns give this floor a look unlike any other. This floor is a great way to add an authentic touch to any home.
