Reclaimed wood from houses, barns, boardwalks and water tanks has become valuable in contemporary crafts and construction. The locally sourced lumber past generations used to build now shows its witness to history through its rich patina and scars from former uses. This book is a handbook of reclaimed wood, providing history and information as well as new design ideas and a survey of its uses today. Includes information on salvage, sources, and plenty of practical advice.(** This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear. **.)
