If you’re thinking of building or remodeling a home, Bob Vila’s radio spot about reclaimed wood is worth checking out. In it, he discusses where it comes from, availability and what it’s used for.

Advantages of Reclaimed Wood There are plenty of reasons why this type of lumber may be the right choice for you. The following facts are only a few to remember.
  • Because this wood came from trees which were hundreds of years old, it’s very high quality lumber.
  • The age and staining process adds a unique, cultured beauty to the finished projects.
  • Since it was rescued from previous structures, newer trees aren’t sacrificed, making this option quite eco-friendly.
