ABOUT US                                                                                           


Reclaimed Wood Products has recently opened a new showroom on the Westside at the border of Culver City and Venice.  The showroom is under the name
E & K Vintage Wood.  E & K Vintage Wood carries reclaimed flooring from local sources as well as fine quality reclaimed wood from throughout the US.  
In addition, E & K Vintage Wood carries select beams, barnboard and lumber.  

Reclaimed Wood Products and its principals have been working with reclaimed wood products for many years.  We do it not only because reclaimed wood is
good for the environment. Billions of board feet of wood goes into our land fills every year... not only is this a tragic waste of resources, but a lot of this wood is
rare, old growth material (often hundreds of years old) with a character that cannot be matched by newer material.

Have you ever stopped to think what happened to all that high quality wood, the “Forgotten Forests”? Much of that material still surrounds us today in our
homes, apartments and offices, but that’s not the end of the story… today, many structures, built with lumber produced by these virgin forests, are being
removed to make way for new construction and the old lumber ends up in our landfills.

Reclaimed Wood Products specializes in recovering the high quality timber from those old growth forests and removing it from entering the waste stream.   
Reclaimed Wood Products sources wood throughout the US with a primary focus on the West Coast, working mainly on urban projects that we can
deconstruct. This means to find old growth timber slated to go to the landfill  that was utilized in buildings, barns, pickle vats, etc…  hand deconstruct it and
painstakingly denail each board individually.   Why do this? Even if it’s the right thing to do, that isn’t enough to justify sound business practices. Our efforts
produce a wood that is unparalleled; in fact, much of our lumber is of such superior quality to that produced in today’s managed forests that the category once
used to grade it is no longer needed. If that weren’t enough, due to the aging process, our lumber is more stable than it’s counterpart, produced by kiln drying,
and has developed rich patinas ranging from honey to chocolate brown, that cannot be reproduced at any cost. Forgiving a few nail holes has allowed us to
offer you a product that will bring warmth and beauty into any environment where it is used.

There is still an enormous amount of work to do, but by using The Reclaimer Urban Timber, you become a voluntary participant in ecologically sound
environmental protection practices that will save natural resources from our past and present forests, preventing landfills from being clogged and timber from
being logged. You’ll also be rewarding yourself with a gift of unmatched quality that has stood the test of time and will continue to do so for generations to come.
