Care & materials

How rustic wood ages, and how to care for your piece.

Creations by Hatch produces rustic farmhouse furniture and décor in small batches near Fancy Gap and Hillsville, Virginia. This guide explains reclaimed character, finish variation, and practical care.

Materials story

Reclaimed character is part of the charm.

Creations by Hatch uses reclaimed and upcycled wood when the right stock is available. Reclaimed wood can include knots, nail holes, saw marks, weathering, color variation, and imperfect grain. That character is part of the story of the piece, not a flaw.

Not every item uses reclaimed wood. Premium solid wood and new lumber remain options for strength, outdoor durability, safety, or customer-requested finishes.
