10 Creative Reclaimed Wood Projects

For centuries, farmers, builders and craftsmen rely on wood as the primary source of materials for the construction of buildings and structures, furniture-making and other woodworking projects because of its density and strength. Years ago, wood was plentiful and inexpensive. Today, the growth of the population stimulates the demand for more wood products. This heated demand continues to accelerate the need for new wood and contributes the over-harvesting of forest land. By using reclaimed wood, material salvaged from older building and structures, including homes, factories, and warehouses, you choose a green material solution that adds warmth, value and a bit of history to your home.
