what do these words mean?

salvaged wood has never been used for any other purpose; it’s in its raw and natural state, straight from the tree. the live edge slabs that I use are examples of salvaged wood.

the mills where I get my slabs only use sustainably sourced trees from local sources. why is this important? trees are beautiful, they help clean the air, and they’re habitat for an array of animals, so I want to make sure I don’t support logging healthy trees. but if it fell in a storm, is dead, a safety hazard, or for some other reason not a viable tree anymore, I say cut it up and make it beautiful again.

 

reclaimed wood was used for something in the past; it was part of an old barn, or it was a table that was dismantled, and so on. it’s already had a great life, and now is ready to be reborn.

these are old pieces of furniture (or something) that have seen better days and need a little love. i clean them, paint, repair, sand, whatever needs to be done to bring them back.

Using only salvaged and reclaimed material means that I never use wood from trees cut down specifically for lumber or to be cut into slabs. All of the slabs of wood I use comes from trees that fell naturally, or were cut down for a reason such as for safety, the tree was dead, or due to construction. I never buy wood that was logged.
