Description
Carved from our stock of premium reclaimed lumber, these American chestnut wood wall plates will cover a two-gang electrical box with no devices installed. We include antiqued stainless steel mounting screws. Our wood wall plates ship sanded and unfinished.
The American chestnut tree was once a dominant species in the Appalachian forest. A blight decimated these trees in the early twentieth century. As a result, chestnut trees rarely live past the sapling age. They are no longer a viable lumber-producing species. We salvage American chestnut lumber from 100-year-old houses, barns and outbuildings in southern West Virginia. Stains, original saw marks, worm holes, and nail holes will occasionally accent the finished surfaces of our reclaimed chestnut wood wall plates.
Not all chestnut wood wall plates will contain worm holes.
