Assuring today’s standards for yesterday’s woods

Virgin-growth, old-growth, original-growth, antique or aged…what exactly does that mean in the wood world? And more importantly, how can the consumer—whether homeowner, design professional or builder—be assured they are receiving the “real deal”?

The Reclaimed Wood Council was formed to educate buyers and set standards for reputable manufacturers of these amazing woods. Because most old woods provide exceptional quality and beauty, they are well-worth recovering and milling into flooring, stair parts, beams, paneling and other products.

With trusted knowledge, the buyers receive a high quality product that will last many more generations.
