Reclaimed wood, also known as recycled or antique wood, is now more popular than ever, in this day and age when we become more environmentally conscious. The beauty of this wood, aged beautifully and full of mystery and soul, speaks for itself. It is in high demand for residential as well as commercial use. Reclaimed wood usually comes from old buildings, boats, any wooden structure. It has recently come to mind that using it over and over, is a much better idea than merely letting rot away; what a sad waste.
