Origins of Reclaimed Wood: The Rise, Fall and Rise of Wood in Construction
Wood used to be the construction material of choice in rural and semi-urban communities right until the mid-1950s. This was because of the abundance of forests in the interiors. The high cost associated with transporting masonry material over great distances also made wood a natural choice. One of the oft-told stories about President Abraham Lincoln is about his birth in a log cabin. Wood was shipped all over the continent to make buildings, homes, barns and factories. This was in addition to its other uses in the paper, lighting, heating and furniture industries.
Wood fell out of disuse because of many reasons. It was terribly unsafe in a fire, unsuitable for taller buildings and alternative construction materials became much cheaper. With changing building codes and the need for tall buildings which could only be made from steel and concrete, wood was discontinued in construction. Once the older wooden structures were torn down as they were deemed unsafe, furniture makers spotted an opportunity in the huge amount of wood that was being reclaimed from these old buildings. They began producing custom made furniture from reclaimed wood.
