The Barn

  The barn's framework is made of large, hand-hewn wooden beams, likely of oak or chestnut, with visible mortise and tenon joinery. The beams are weathered, showing tool marks from early settlers, and they create a high, open ceiling with a majestic sense of space.

  The walls are built with rough, wide wooden planks, sometimes insulated with straw or horsehair, offering glimpses of the rough-hewn exterior between the boards.

​

  The flooring consists of thick, wide planks, possibly pine, heavily worn over centuries of use. The wood shows the natural aging process with deep patinas, cracks, and a rich, warm tone. The boards may creak slightly underfoot, giving the sense of age and use.
