Availability: Reclaimed wood is often harder to find than new wood and can be more expensive due to the labor involved in sourcing and processing it. Environmental: Reclaimed wood is generally considered more eco-friendly than new wood, as it is sourced from existing structures and does not require additional logging.

Stability and Durability Reclaimed wood is stronger and more resistant to climate than new wood. Much of the wood we use for our reclaimed products originally came from old growth trees in virgin growth forests.

Any wood species can be reclaimed, but some of the most common are Douglas fir, redwood, pine and oak. A rare reclaimed wood species is longleaf (heart) pine, which can take up to 500 years to mature, as opposed to the more common yellow pine, which only takes 50 years.
