Flaws Add Alot Of Character To Reclaimed Wood Floors

The rocks, nails, and other embedded materials in the reclaimed lumber must be very carefully identified and extracted so as not to destroy the equipment that will shape it. Consider how tedious of a process that would be. Now stop before you give yourself a headache. There is also a limit to consider - at what point does too much character end up making it trash? Sometimes that limit is obvious, such as when there's simply not enough lumber left to do anything with, but sometimes a grading system will be implemented referring to a customer's demands based on exactly how many flaws are acceptable. Suppliers generally focus on grain quality and species when they buy reclaimed lumber to resell, so getting the highest possible yield is also a large concern.
