The story behind the Break Espresso doors is pretty straightforward.
We met Rick (owner of the Break) through a designer in Missoula. We found the reclaimed vertical grain douglas fir at Home Resources. I pitched the idea of using the wood because of it stability and distinctive iron oxide stains from its previous life before being reclaimed. The wood was part of the roof structure in a warehouse building in Eastern Washington. (Gary Delp of Heritage Timber had procured the wood.) It was burly wood to work with -- it's really dense reclaimed old growth -- probably was cut down 100 years ago. The rings are very tight, when you pick it up it feels almost like a piece of iron, it's dense.
