Why Use Reclaimed Lumber?

1. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Using reclaimed lumber in your building projects saves new trees from being harvested as well as greatly reducing fuels used in the production and shipping process of lumber milling. Using reclaimed wood is the definition of responsible recycling.

2. STABILITY & STRENGTH

Aged lumber has been through plenty of winter/ summer cycles and everything in between, so the wood is generally more stable and less likely to shrink, twist, and cup like todays fresh cut lumber (we've all been there). Aged lumber is also generally tighter grained than todays lumber. Much of the reclaimed wood we see is from old growth forests resulting in the natural, dense, tight grain patterns from trees growing naturally in the wild, unlike the lumber tree farms today that are designed to grow as fast as possible.

3. CHARACTER

Nothing is comparable to the beauty and character reclaimed lumber presents to the eyes. With a vast array of patinas, textures, and grain patterns that only father time can create. Your projects using reclaimed lumber will be truly unique, as no two pieces are alike!
