I love that using reclaimed wood is eco-friendly. It’s great to know you’re giving old wood new life instead of cutting down more trees. 🌳♻️

Pros:
Eco-friendly: You're recycling and reducing waste.
Unique Character: Each piece has a story, adding charm and history to your project.
Durability: Often, older wood is more durable than new growth wood.

Cons:
Hidden Damage: There could be nails, rot, or other issues you can't see at first.
Higher Cost: Sometimes it can be pricier due to the labor involved in reclaiming it.
Inconsistency: Variations in color, size, and texture can make it harder to work with.
