What it takes to build reclaimed wood furniture...

A lot of hard work....finding the wood source, salvaging the wood, hauling it home, pounding out old nails, trimming off rotten pieces and finally beginning the "creating" part. Why bother (besides the environmental side)? Every load of wood has a unique story imparted by the lives and living of the original "owner" and the original story of the tree from which the wood came is carried on as well. You can't get that at a big box lumber yard!
