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.
