Reclaimed Lumber: Method/Options/etc? - reclaimed timber
My friends and I examine how different materials of the old abandoned houses can be re-affirmed and re-use of an ecological and sustainable manner.
For my part, I studied, I like the wood / timber from the ground can be recaptured, beams, siding, etc., and what kind of treatment they need in order to be reused in a new home.
What matters is that the process be green, without harmful chemicals, you do not use much energy to reprocess the wood without making available to send over the country, etc.
Unfortunately, you can find anything online that describes how the restoration of wood or wood-milling. I can talk to to find only a few short sentences how good it is the timber for reclamation or the websites of people who saved the sale of wood.
Can anyone help? We very much appreciate your help. Thank you.

Reclaimed Timber Reclaimed Lumber: Method/Options/etc?

Large beams from old barns and mills are used to operate the mill and the ground. These pieces are profitable because they require minimal processing to remove the old ties. Old ruins of nails and screws for cutters of wood used.
Metal detectors are used to find the attachment of wood. Metal fasteners (screws, nails, etc.) are removed by hand. The forests are cut and then with a sawmill. Bleeding usually use the technology, the narrow-band in the vicinity of reducing waste. It is essentially a very thin, if it ends with more lumber and less sawdust.
Smaller pieces, such as beams, columns and apartments have nail holes for both the cable and the tube, which is a re-use is not very profitable. Some of the old surface is recycled and sold as barn siding. Some wood flooring will be reused, but it is very difficult.
Wood is a renewable product! Given the removal of the nail work, taking into account the fact that no two pieces of wood are the same thickness of different ages, taking into account that all uses of wood cut to length as you plan to use this wood? If the directory is not a barn or 1 for the hardware, there is little old wood pulp, pulp and wood can not nail into the ... Loser. Turn your energy elsewhere.
Sorry, we build shit with shit in the past decades. There is already considerable business in the rescue of high-quality materials of historic buildings, but there is nothing else than the disease on our current bottom to save.
