Restoring Pine Doors at Somerset Reclamation: Sanding Out Burn Marks

Restoring Pine Doors at Somerset Reclamation: Sanding Out Burn Marks

At Somerset Reclamation, we specialize in restoring the timeless beauty of reclaimed wood, especially pine doors that have been stripped and need a little extra care to return to their former glory. One of the more common issues we encounter when working with reclaimed pine doors is burn marks—often caused by previous attempts at stripping the door with a blow torch. These marks can occur when the torch gets too close or is held in one spot for too long, scorching the surface of the wood.

Fortunately, we have the skills and tools to restore these doors. Sanding out burn marks requires patience and precision, but with the right technique, we can reduce or even completely remove them. Each door is unique, and the depth of the burn may vary, but our careful sanding process helps bring the door back to life, preserving its character while ensuring the wood is smooth and ready for refinishing.

Our team at Somerset Reclamation prides itself on using sustainable practices and traditional methods to restore these beautiful pieces of history. Whether you're looking to reclaim the natural beauty of your home’s original pine doors or enhance a new space with something reclaimed, we’re here to help. With careful craftsmanship and a dedication to quality, we bring the past back into your home—one door at a time.
