Why reclaimed, recycled or salvaged lumber?
All of our lumber is old growth lumber that was harvested in the late 1800s and early 1900s in the Pacific Northwest. The commercial logging of old growth redwood trees has virtually ceased. Our inventory of salvaged redwood logs is some of the last material of this size that will ever be available. Our inventory of reclaimed redwood is air dried, tight grained, and structurally sound. Many of the markings in the material from aging and previous use add to the charm and the authenticity of this rustic reclaimed wood. This recycled lumber is rare, beautiful, environmentally conscious, ‘green’ building wood. Reuse reduces the demand for new wood and helps to conserve our forests and moderate the potential impacts of incremental logging upon the environment. Using recycled or salvaged wood is a socially and ecologically responsible decision.
