How We BuildReclaimed Materials![]() Woodworkers know that the best quality wood comes from old-growth trees. Old-growth timber is harder, denser, and more stable than wood from young trees. It also tends to have fewer knots and structural defects. However, old-growth timber usually comes with the high price of destroying ancient forests. Reclaimed wood can provide the benefits of old-growth timber without the environmental costs. Vast quantities of old-growth lumber can be found in old buildings, bridges, tanks, and other structures that await deconstruction and reuse. Hand tooling marks, nail holes, and other fastener marks are part of the appeal of this unique resource.
