Reclaimed wood has been increasing in popularity in recent years. This is because reclaimed wood is made from old-growth wood that has been discarded, and it is a sustainable material that can really bring a space to life!
With all popularity though, comes some myths…

Myth #2: Reclaimed wood is difficult to work with
