Reclaimed lumber is used wood that has been taken for re-use. Often this is wood from long-standing idle buildings, and it's sometimes refinished for new purposes. Most reclaimed lumber comes from timbers and decking rescued from old barns, factories and warehouses and some companies have been known to source wood from less traditional structures such as boxcars, coal mines, and wine barrels. Reclaimed or antique lumber is used primarily for decoration and home building and is often used for siding, architectural details, cabinetry, furniture and flooring.
Case in point, this lovely table from World Market -
Inspired by the unadorned, clean lines and sturdy build found in barnwood furnishings in the farm regions of France, our Bordeaux Dining Table is a study in simple authenticity. Crafted of solid birch wood with an acacia veneer and distressed specifically to create the charm of reclaimed materials, our Bordeaux Dining Table is beautiful, robust and elegantly unfussy. Easily extends from 60" to 96" long to accommodate the entire family.
Hmm... "to create the charm of reclaimed materials"
Is it lying?
