In part I of my series on sustainable decking materials, I talked about recycled composite decking.  Here, I’ll focus on reclaimed wood that’s full of character and rich in history.  Wood salvaged from riverbeds and old barns, factories and other buildings slated for demolition, is typically superior to newly harvested trees.  Many species, including some that are no longer available, can be found from the following companies:

• AltruWood, Portland, OR
• Citilog, Pittstown, NJ
• Pinocchio Timber Products, Fort Bragg, CA
• Terramai, Mt. Shasta, CA
• Trestlewood Products, locations in UT, ID, IN, IL
