Why Reclaimed Wood?

Weathered by elements and worn by time, vintage wood is rich in color, tone and texture. Saw marks and nail holes, floorboards worn smooth by countless feet, the whisking of tails against old stall board, all account for the incomparable texture. The aging process produces a patina that hints at the wood’s prior use and each board has a story.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, recycling wood from old factories, barns and other structures saves trees and can help businesses honor pledges of sustainability.

Let Vintage Perkins help you select the most appropriate reclaimed wood for your project and show you how to maximize its beauty.
