Using reclaimed wood is definitely not the easy way to go about your construction process... Most of the time the wood is much harder to work, and tough on tools, but with the challenges come great rewards. Under the rough looking exterior is a reemerging beauty not often uncovered. The character that is added to each piece can not be duplicated truly making each one a true "one of a kind".
I try to use mainly reclaimed wood in my furniture construction. It adds to the expense of each piece but I believe the extra cost is countered by the uniqueness it adds. It also feels good to take something that could of ended up scrapped or burned and reworking it in to a thing of beauty. I love the challenges of using this wood to build with and bringing out that hidden beauty.
