Reclaimed Wood Is Beautiful

Reclaimed wood used to be a term that carried the stigma of not being as good as new wood. However, thanks to ecological trends people have started to realize the magnificence of previously used wood. Old barn wood is the first thing most people think of. This type of wood is terrific, but it can be expensive and is just a small sample of all of the types of wood available to reclaim.

This type of wood has gained popularity for many reasons. It helps reduce the carbon footprint on the planet, one of the most popular reasons. The next most popular reason is it is beautiful. The patina of used wood is quite beautiful and can accentuate the grain of wood even more than new wood. The last reason is well known among woodworkers. Old wood is typical cut from old growth. Really large support beams found in old constructions do not exist in today’s wood mills. Old growth timber is extremely strong without pressure treating.
