We believe that trees are beautiful both in they're prime and when they have been removed, shaped and repurposed into things like decks, homes and gorgeous pieces of furniture the adorn our houses and places of business. We also believe that those trees that gave up their branches and trunks for these projects should be honored and have continued use even after being repurposed for the first time.
Some of our favorite places in the city that honor this process are reclaimed wood stores that help consumers use these pieces of wood again and again to re-create something beautiful. Our three favorite stores are listed below. We highly recommend that you check these stores out for your next project and consider the idea of using reclaimed wood as a new habit in your life.
The first place we would like to mention is Urban Lumber Company. What is unique about this company is that all of their wood comes from Kansas City trees. They honor the process of making sure these trees are utilized to their fullest extent.
Another great company is Beaver Timber. Their home page has a lot of beautiful things to say about the appeal and character of reclaimed wood and how it can really help you create a unique and durable project.
One more company that we would like to highlight is American Antique Woods in Kansas City. They are the home of many different forms of reclaimed wood and they specialize in recycling wood right here in the Midwest.
We highly encourage you to explore these alternative methods for your lumber needs when it comes to your next Spring project. This is a great way to honor the environment, support local business and create even more beauty in Kansas City.
