Old Barn Star barnwood furniture is artful, sturdy, classic and comfortable to the eye. It’s an interesting choice, though. Why opt for something reclaimed when it’s so easy to purchase new lumber? Let’s talk about the reclaimed wood meaning.

Seasoning

It’s easy to adopt the misconception that something used is tarnished and somehow less worthy than something new. With wood, the reverse is true. Wood ages beautifully. Since the wood was harvested a while ago, its independence and exposure give it a lovely, classic texture that’s guaranteed to be sturdy because it has supported another structure for a long time.

Sources

Just as we promote, most reclaimed wood comes from unused barns and porches. It’s stripped and tastefully re-appropriated for use in our reclaimed wood tables because it’s time-tested and gorgeous from its contact with the elements.

Conservation

Naturally, it’s better to recycle! We’re conserving and preventing the unnecessary felling of trees by using beautiful reclaimed wood.

Try a piece of reclaimed wood furniture today and see why we’ve chosen to use the Amish method of re-appropriating wood and using it, rather than letting it decay and wasting more lumber. You’ll feel the power of the years as the piece of furniture changes the space of your home, and its durability will guarantee its presence for years to come.
