Who are we? That answer depends a lot on who we were, and for many of us our roots are in the land. These beams are from a 1920's granary in Birnamwood, WI, that we reclaimed from a couple whose father farmed the land. How satisfying to put your feet up on this table, run your hands over the mortises and tenons, and rediscover history. Comes with a built-in remote holder!
