Reclaimed wood is old wood that has been repurposed. For example, it can be old lumber wood from a factory that is transformed into a wine rack, bookshelf, or coffee table.
The trees most commonly harvested were between 100 and 400 year old. They grew naturally slowly and naturally without fertilizers. They were able to withstand droughts and floods which resulted in tighter grain and more dense resins. Reclaimed wood is also superior than newly harvested lumber.
The lumber distribution chain is often long and complicated, which can increase the final cost for the customer. You can buy directly from the Texas mill, which keeps costs low, and you eliminate the middleman. Our customers can get wholesale prices which allows them to allocate more of their budget for other things, such as light fixtures that highlight the unique details of their wood flooring designs.

This resulted in wood with tighter grains and dense resins. Reclaimed wood is not only superior but also has been dried and cure naturally and has experienced many fluctuations in moisture, making it more stable than newly harvested lumber.
