Surfacing	Painted and Weathered; Painted Barnwood may include material which was originally roughsawn and material which was originally planed smooth. One of the unique features of Barnwood is the range of textures found therein. The surfacing and texture of different barnwood sources may vary widely.
Weight	Depending on species mix. Typically, approximately 2.5 pounds per board foot
Color/Appearance	Weathered (degree of weathering varies); Trestlewood's Painted Barnwood is sorted into solid red, flaky red, solid white and flaky white sorts. One of the unique features of barnwood is the variety of colors found therein. Most boards will have two or more shades of colors where the barnwood weathered at different rates. As a result, Trestlewood generally does not offer a color sort which does not allow for some latitude in color provided.
Appearance Variation	Barnwood generally comes from a variety of sources. As a result, characteristics can be expected to vary from piece to piece. Trestlewood believes that appearance variations (no two pieces of barnwood exactly alike) are one of the selling points of this product line.
Lead-Based Paint	Painted Barnwood may have originally been painted with lead-based paint. Trestlewood does not test for lead content and sells this product as-is. Buyer understands that it must determine which uses are appropriate for this product.
Other	Barnwood can be brittle and split easily. Special care, such as pre-drilling holes for nails, is advisable.
