Old Wood Made into New Floors

southernwoodfloorsWith so much waste and landfill being created by construction and remodeling, it’s great to see some eco-friendly re-use in building materials. A company called Southern Wood Floors “harvests buildings, not trees.” This immediately conjured a War of the Worlds-esque image of a giant alien robot snatching up innocent structures, but I don’t think that was their intention.

In fact, they salvage beams and timbers from 18th and 19th century structures and carefully mill them for floor, wall and cabinet stock. The result is great looking wood and a clear eco-conscience.
The SouthernWoodFloors.com web site has a gallery of projects, different wood options, and even a weekly “mill specials” section.
