Sales of reclaimed wood are booming, with heartwood and oak being the most sought-after. Customers prefer hand-carved beams for their historical value and the marks of use that reflect their authentic character. This type of wood is widely used in decorative projects and cladding rather than for structural purposes. Most reclaimed wood is sourced from barns and old buildings within the United States or neighboring states. The presence of old saw marks and nails adds to its aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice for interior design. Demand for antique heartwood has seen a significant increase in recent months due to its scarcity. The original trees are over 300 years old and no longer grow. There is also growing interest in rare woods like walnut and hackory for use in luxury pieces and custom designs.
