For many of us, reclaimed wood is our gateway to the world of woodworking. Be it wood from the side of the road, pallets collected from the back of businesses, or 2x4s ripped out during a remodel, creativity blossoms when materials speak to us. 

Long associated with the terms “rustic,” “farmhouse,” or “shabby,” reclaimed wood will always be prized for its lack of pretension and accessibility. But in defining the term “reclaimed” I envision a wider description. That is, reclaimed is anything that once served one purpose, but has been stripped down to serve another. 

It’s barnwood, but it’s also pallet wood, flooring, fence boards, your grandfather’s old shed, wood washed up by the tide, and dismantled furniture pieces. 
It also doesn’t have to be rustic. Case in point, this blanket chest is made from reclaimed white oak flooring:
