Reclaimed Oak Lumber shows the history of
the wood very well; there is an unlimited combination of knots,
patina, wear marks and fastener holes. The color will vary from
weathered gray and brown to the rich patina found underneath; deeper
into the board we find the color and grain that makes oak such a
popular wood today. Of course the hardness and workability of Oak
make this wood an attractive option for cabinetry, stair parts,
furniture and other millwork.

The unique distinctiveness of a reclaimed wood
product is generally what makes it so desirable. Although we may provide
a sample, photograph or description of a particular type of wood product
as an example to demonstrate the general characteristics of that type
of product, such sample, photograph or description may not necessarily
be representative of the product actually delivered due to the great
variability in color, grain, texture, sign of previous use, etc. |
