Hardwood barn doors

[LePallet]

 

This would have to be one of my favourite builds. I have always wanted to Build a barn door and now I have made one, I can’t wait to be building more.

Hanging the tracks is not a complex as it looks once you learn the heights and measurements.  The timber I used is called Silver Top

hi there @Deborah_A 

timber I was using is $13 per meter,

A  door that is 1500 wide comes to around $650 for the timber 

adding a rail, handles, oil, materials may come to around $400

Hi @cclark347,

To my eye, it doesn't appear that a stain was used as this is a natural colour of some hardwoods. I see @LePallet mentioned they used an oil, so I would suggest this finish was achieved with a clear interior oil. Something like this Feast Watson 1L Scandinavian Oil should be suitable.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you. 
I just thought the original pine looked a lot lighter. I didn’t think an oil would darken it that much. I have original pine barn door and I would like it a touch darker. I thought an oil would just be a clear coat

Hi @cclark347,

From the description and appearance, these are hardwood doors and not Pine. You could stain your Pine to get a slightly darker look like this, and it would be best to check out colour samples in-store to get an idea of what can be achieved.

You're correct that a clear oil won't darken your Pine to a similar look as these doors. That colouring comes from the hardwood, not the coating. The oil coating adds a slightly honey hue and darkens the timber ever so slightly.

Hi @cclark347 

@MitchellMc  is on the money. These were hardwood doors and all that was needed was a natural hardwax oil. Feast Watson make a great product in the oil and also a stain.
