Most of the wood at Barnhill Britt is antique longleaf pine salvaged from older buildings in Texas and other portions of the Southeast. Occasionally we'll incorporate other native antique woods such as pecan, mesquite, cottonwood, and cypress. Most of the wood we use was harvested over 100 years ago from virgin longleaf pine forests which approached 200 years old themselves. Classic straight-forward design makes our furniture compatible with a variety of styles. All furniture is available in either planed or roughsawn textures and one of 8 standard finishes.
Weathered textures are available at an additional charge.
All hardware fittings are imported, unpolished solid brass unless otherwise noted. We use traditional joinery in each of our pieces including mortise and tenon joints with wooden pegs. Our drawers have dovetailed corners and chamfered panels are standard on each piece. No staples or plywood are ever used in Barnhill Britt furniture. It is our mission to produce the finest quality furniture based on construction and finishing techniques developed hundreds of years ago.
