Reclaimed Wood Furniture Made in Los Angeles

- Reclaimed Douglas Fir at Urban Woods
The term “reclaimed wood” may conjur many different images. Some might imagine sunken logs that have been rescued from Amazonian river bottoms, or old barn siding from a dilapidated Southern plantation, or a peasants home razed in the third world because the value of the ancient timber is more vauable than the shelter it provides. All of these woods are reclaimed by some one, some where for some purpose and by some different method.
When it comes to sustainability and the making of sustainable furnishings one must consider the degree of sustainability of the ingredients. Is it constructed from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) wood (the FSC promotes responsible management of the worlds forests), Bamboo (actually a rapidly growing grass) or the most sustainable of materials, Reclaimed Wood from local sources?
Urban Woods is always striving to create a more sustainable product. In fact our products are beyond sustainable. By eliminating waste wood from landfills where they are left to decompose and release carbon into the atmosphere, reclaimed wood is “rescued” and repurposed for a second life.

You are right that a lot of people don’t understand what reclaimed really is. Worse yet, are those hacks claiming to have reclaimed products. I appreciate the post. John
I’m interested in Plaques made out of recycled wood. Sizes: 8″ x 10″, 9″ x 12″, and 12″ x 15″. The usual thickness for plaques is about 3/4″ thick.
Is this something you can supply me with?
Thanks,
