 Reclaimed wood is wood that has already been used for another purpose, and has been salvaged for another use. Almost all reclaimed wood is higher-grade wood than the newly-harvested wood sold today--with more beauty, stability, clarity, and density--as it was originally harvested from old-growth forests. Using reclaimed wood leaves forests standing, protecting trees, the watershed, and habitat for wildlife and understory plants. Generally, less embodied energy is used to create reclaimed wood products than to create new wood products or plastic lumber, concrete, or steel. Even reclaimed wood shipped via boat from other continents still contain less embodied energy compared to domestic manufactured products, as sea freight is very energy efficient. Ajisaka also does everything they can to keep the financial benefits of reclaiming wood close to community where the wood came from. Wood is an ideal choice for indoor air quality when a nontoxic or natural finish is applied. It's easy to clean and keep dust-free.
