There was a time when wood was plentiful in the U.S., and homes and the furnishings inside them were created from this beautiful, natural material. But as the years went by and populations grew, the increasing demand for wood led to mass manufacturing and, eventually, problems with deforestation. Eventually, high demand caused some types of wood to become harder to come by, and even extinct. Sources for Reclaimed Wood Reclaimed wood usually comes from recycled furniture, old railroad ties, and demolished buildings. It’s wood with a history and, often, it’s a type of wood not readily found in a mass-produced furniture showroom. Furniture designers use these unique and often hard-to-find woods to create original reclaimed wood furniture in Los Angeles. High Demand In the past, the wood salvaged from an old building or recycled furniture might have been discarded. But today, there is a high demand from designers and consumers alike for reclaimed or recycled wood. River beds are an additional source for reclaimed wood, which is used to craft custom furniture, flooring, paneling, and home accents. Reclaimed cherry wood is one of the rarest hardwoods. Environmentally Conscious Option Recycled and reclaimed furniture not only offers a unique option for furniture design; it prevents the need to harvest wood from forests. It also cuts back the amount of waste in landfills, and helps cut back on the waste material created as a result of mass production. Strength The Janka hardness scale rates woods according to their hardness. The higher the number is on the scale, the harder the wood. Reclaimed wood comes from old-growth trees, and is 40 times harder than wood from first-generation trees, also known as virgin wood. For unique and beautiful, eco-friendly décor options for your home or business, consider design ideas using original reclaimed wood furniture in Los Angeles.
