Reclaimed lumber is wood that has been selected for re-use. This kind of rustic wood such as timber beams and decking is taken from old and idle buildings. These are the old barns and factories or warehouses that fell into disuse after most of the work started being out sourced. What made reclaimed wood special was that it was beautiful to look at and feel.
Today antique lumber is popular as flooring and siding as well as paneling, cabinet lumber besides furniture. Top professional companies dealing in reclaimed lumber such as Wellborn + Wright, offer quality hand hewn timber beams that form the ultimate treasure in reclaimed timbers. In these you will find cut marks from hand saws and axes that were used in those days to cut timbers in the absence of power saws. You will find these timber beams from 19th century barns and tobacco warehouses and textile mills. There are beams that are hand hewn, rough sawn and plain sawn in species that include Heart Pine and Antique Oak besides Hickory, Poplar and Beech.
