So many people have come up with SEVERAL ideas to use reclaimed wood and recycle an amazing product. Urban Woods shares their take on reclaimed wood:

The term “reclaimed wood” may conjure 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.

Here are a few fun and inspiring ways to use this fabulous material!
