Is Craigslist for free stuff, it is amazing how many people offer free wood.
It got me wondering what happens to all those wood pallets.
Then I came across a great piece on Ways to Recycle Wood
That said, it seems that people are looking at reclaimed lumber, so thought I would put up some helpful hints!
Wasted Wood Facts:
- An old warehouse with one million board feet of reusable lumber can save the need to harvest 1,000 acres of forest
- Only 8-9 Million Acres are left in the USA of old growth trees.
- Most of the remaining trees are found on federal land.
- Nearly 1 Million Acres of hardwood are harvested each year to make shipping pallets reuse wood pallets.
Why Use Reclaimed Wood
1.) Keeps out of landfills.
2.) Environmentally friendly.
3.) History: hard to find old growth wood.
4.) Stylistic statement.
5.) Wood Pallets, can be less expensive.
6.) Sturdy: Much of the wood reclaimed was taken from old growth trees which is harder, more stable and less prone to splitting.
10 Things to Consider When Buying Reclaimed Lumber
1.) Go to someone who can provide information about their products and history.
2.) Visit the shops specializing in reclaimed wood and look at samples before you make your decision.
3.) Know that reclaimed wood will not have the same uniformity.
4.) Look for boards that fit your style, many boards will have nail holes, rust spots and other distressed markings.
5.) Look for Wood shop that can help you mill you material.
6.) What width? Wide, Thick or thinner timber or boards?
7.) What type of wood? Oak, Pine, Poplar and many more.
8.) Look for source close to you saves time, energy and shipping.
9.) Use Biodegradable sealants, stains to lessen VOC.
10.) Use a experienced mill shop and installer.
Some Quick Fun Ways to Use Recycled and Reclaimed Wood.

People ask How long have you been in business?
We began working with wood with our father a master carpenter way back in l970 doing local kitchens and bathrooms.
We did this so that would help put ourselves thru college.
Well now still in business for over near 35 years!
From this we went into custom wood working and other area of woodworking.
For example; we moved into special export crating as a sideline this turned into a whole business of its own.
Then my brother Charlie began making wood mantles, old looking wooden shelves, reclaimed wooden benches, wooden old looking tables and other old barnwood looking furniture pieces.
His finishes are natural, stained, pickled, painted, waxed, varnished or you idea.
Our ideas have changed slightly over the years.
We try to stay on top of what is happening and the growing trends of wood in the wooden rustic furniture ann primitive table world.
At the present we create wooden distressed furniture and other wooden home decor.
All from up-cycled wood. We now use only recycled wood for all our wood furniture.
No new trees are cut down for our reclaimed wooden rustic primitive tables, wood benches and unique barn wood recyled furniture.
People ask what inspired you to open a business at such a young age?
We opened back in 70’s.
The economy was terrible we could not find work so, we made our own work.
We tried to create a custom wood working business at that time where other local craftsmen and customers would love see our new unique furniture ideas.
We have not stopped since. In 2000 we started trying and using only reclaimed upcycled wood for our one of a kind wooden furniture shop.
We were not sure if this recycled lumber would go over; well this has opened a whole new door for us!
The wedding farm table rental furniture keeps us busy all year long. Many brides and event planners rent long wooden country farm tables from us.
Many times we are asked, where do you get your motivation?
- The need for a weekly income.
- Working with wood is something we like to do.
- Motivation comes in many different ways, send us a picture.
How long have you been doing rustic upcycled wood furniture?
We have been new wood furniture doing since 1980’s. We started out with a couple of small pieces for family and friends at first and then moved on to the large ones that bring in thousands of customers.
For the past 11 years since 2000 we have been doing this reclaimed reused wood, it is enough to keep us busy all year long.
We like doing 1 table for a week for an individual or 100 tables for a month for a restaurant and take a day or two break.
This way we have time to rethink our ideas for each customer.
For the past 11 years we have been doing custom pieces from picture it is a real challenge but enjoy every minute of it!
What do you like most or least about doing woodworking?
Setting up the sizes and measurements is the worst, we make everything custom size.
But when everything in between makes it all worthwhile! We love chatting with customers and hearing the nice compliments of our handmade custom work.
There is nothing better than to have customers purchasing your handmade items with a smile on their face.
What advise would you give others who are thinking about starting a business?
It doesn’t happen overnight! Be patient and start creating what you know about and love. Start out slow and find out what fits you that is what you will do best.
