What is reclaimed wood? How is it utilized today in furniture?


There are millions of homes, bridges, community buildings, and docks worldwide that were constructed out of virgin wood timber many if not a hundred years ago.  When these structures come to the end of their working life and are demolished, beautifully seasoned and air dried reclaimed wood is rediscovered and is ready to be recycled into something new and useful!


Reclaimed wood has always been considered a premium and plentiful material that is immensely strong and flexible with excellent durability due to its seasoned and air-dried nature, often taking decades or centuries to develop.
The reclaimed wood used in our handmade furniture is firstly cleaned and hand crafted into working material. The solid wood is then kiln dried for anti-infestation and to ensure consistent moisture content throughout. The material is then expertly handmade into finely crafted and uniquely characterful dining tables, chairs, benches and many other furniture pieces.
