There are common misconceptions about the differences between reclaimed wood and antique wood. This article will provide you with the facts on these two distinct types of wood.
Reclaimed Wood
Sometimes referred to as repurposed wood, reclaimed wood is obtained from a previously built structure. For example, wood from a demolished home is considered reclaimed wood. However, reclaimed wood can be classified as antique wood.
Antique Wood
Antique wood is typically obtained from trees that are over a century old. Therefore, if timber reclaimed from a structure originated from a 200-year-old tree, that wood could be considered both reclaimed and antique.
