Reclaimed Wood Countertops are Eco-friendly and Sustainable Remodeling Choices
Eight new reclaimed wood countertop options are now available from Craft-Art. The use of beautiful wood from the 1800s and 1900s, eco-friendly and functional, supports the goal to recycle the Earth’s resources as part of the sustainable building movement.
“We want to help build environmentally friendly homes. Wood is a renewable resource and we use a number of different wood species for our custom countertops. Our latest offering though is to reuse and preserve this beautiful resource by creating custom wood countertops from reclaimed wood sources,” comments Ken Williamson, founder and CEO of the Craft-Art Company, Inc.
The eight examples of reclaimed wood include Antique Heart Pine, Sinker Cypress, Antique White Oak, Pickle Vat Redwood, Barn Red Oak, Barn White Oak, American Chestnut, and Tobacco Barn Beech. Craft-Art is recycling wood from old mills, barns, river bottoms, and swamps for this new series of countertops.
Examples of Craft-Art’s exquisite reclaimed wood offerings are:
• Barn Red Oak - dates back to pre-1900 is a very high quality dense grain oak
• American Chestnut - an expensive wood species that is very rare
• The Tobacco Barn Beech – contains a nice color with beautiful red streaks in the heartwood
• Antique Heart Pine – features a “quarter-sawn” technique highlighting the tight-grain wood texture and creating a unique surface.
• Sinker Cypress – a beautiful wood species pulled from swamps and bayous of Louisiana
• Barn White Oak – a European oak with a coarse grain and brown to tan color
“As a natural material, wood evolves and becomes richer in depth and color over time,” adds Williamson. “We believe these countertops will excel in their enduring in beauty and durability. It is a pleasure to offer them to our customers.”
