What is reclaimed wood?

Reclaimed wood is high-quality wood from various sources such as old barns, warehouses, stock farms among many other sources. Using Reclaimed woods is environmentally friendly and gives life to old wood that may have otherwise been discarded. Using reclaimed wood for your next project is much more efficient than manufacturing new wood products. In fact, by using reclaimed wood you can save up to 5 times the energy consumption compared to the energy it would have taken to manufacture a new wood product. Reclaimed wood is often better quality then other newer woods since many of the sources come from old-growth wood. Old-growth trees refer to trees that naturally reach their maturity in their natural setting and are not manipulated in any way such is the case with some tree farms. Because the tree grows more slowly, old-growth wood is typically more durable due to the denser fiber that is produced from the slower growth rate. Because of its durability, slow-growth wood often is one of the more stable woods available and are less likely to be adversely affected by changes in humidity over long periods of time. Lastly, because reclaimed wood is often not produced anymore, they will contain a character and story that you just cannot find with other types of modern manufactured wood.
