benefits of reclaming recycled woods

benefits of reclaming recycled woodsWhen it comes to furniture, are you a conformist? Well then have fun with it, but if you want wood furniture that’s a little more unique, look for artful pieces made from reclaimed or recycled wood, you rebel with an eco-cause, you.

Doing this can give you the benefits of preserving endangered trees. 50% of the world’s forests are gone. Reclaimed wood furniture avoids using virgin wood from threatened tree species such as mahogany. There is also less energy use. A lot of wood is shipped from thousands of miles away (example: some teak comes from 8,000 miles away in Philippines). And, good news for nonconformists, reclaimed wood pieces is one-of-a-kind, so you’re not going to see these beauties anywhere but your own place.
