Building with reclaimed lumber allows builders to go green without sacrificing quality. Old growth lumber reclaimed from barns, houses, piers, bridges and many other sources is prized for the color, size, strength and dense, straight grain not found in the trees harvested today. By using reclaimed wood no new trees need to be cut.
Reclaimed lumber and rustic wood timbers come from old barns and old warehouses. They are the source for massive wood beams, “barn beams”, from old growth pine, douglas fir, white oak and many other wood varieties.

Some of the reclaimed wood looks as good as new anyway. i used some for some beams in my property and they look fantastic. I also know I’ve done my bit for the enviroment, which I let everyone know!

Reclaimed wood is actually far superior to new wood because it comes from old growth lumber that is straighter, stronger, has fewer knots and more variety of color and grain.

I’m all for wood… All my furnishings are made of a reclaim wood. It looks great… And that picture of a kitchen right on top of this post… God, I fell in love with it!

Welcome Harrold,
We love wood too. Between the reclaimed lumbers and the new TimberSIL wood treatment that makes wood virtually rot-proof and fireproof wood is definitely an excellent choice for longevity and being environmentally friendly.

I’m all for it! And the kitchen in the pic looks just incredible, too. A dream. I think the reason more people don’t go for these kinds of features might be that they might think that it is going to be complicated – or that they may not realize it is a valid option for them. But the additional visual features you get from the history of the wood, plus the environmental benefit makes reclaimed wood a winner.
Reclaimed wood is very good for indoor and outdoor furniture and hard wood flooring. By using reclaimed wood, we can also contribute towards reducing Global Warming
This antique wood is perfect for applications in timber frames, architectural trusses, open beam ceilings, exposed headers, antique wood flooring.

Being able to use old, reclaimed wood like that in your builds is definitely a treat. We ‘came across’ a goldmine of some old wood out near where we live a few years ago. It was all from the old barns and some of it from the old log cabins that used to be on the actual property we were visiting. So reclaimed wood with a local history – double score! Only, the husband was ready to sell, and the wife was not going for our price at all. I imagine it’s all still sitting there – just piles and piles of it! Was a real bummer!

Welcome Mark and thank you for your comment. Sadly they will probably never actually do anything with it. Maybe you could follow up with them periodically in case they change their minds?

I wonder if this is the type of wood used in drum mallets and other musical instruments.
I agree, using reclaimed timber is fantastic – recently used it in my kitchen renovation – looks great!
I have a barn that is post and beam, over 200 years old that we would like someone to come out and give a price for the antique wood and dismantle it as well.
Good wood is hard to find in our area. We have a lot of builders that scoop it up pretty quick.
Reclaimed wood is something that most people here don’t realize is available. Not a bad idea.
Oh wow. I am DROOLING over that kitchen. But it seems a bit disjointed, how the ceiling is a bit rustic and the cabinetry so sleek and modern. I love both looks, but does it work together?
