Where Does Our Wood Come From?
Western Heritage Furniture depends on one-of-a-kind resources to build our Ghostwood Collection. Since our wood doesn't grow on trees, we have to find it in unique areas of the United States. Old buildings like tabacco barns, hay lofts, homes and ranches are frequent choices for reclaimed wood. The acquisition process is a historial process. Our wood has lived, been through years of reliable service and is ready for retirement when it is given a second life. Through our Ghostwood Collection wood ready for destruction is given new life.
Sometimes we find the wood, and sometimes the wood finds us. Friends, family and customers all are excellent for new projects. Western Heritage Furniture is always interested in reclaiming quality wood structures with an interesting history. If you would like to contact us about reclaiming a structure please call 1-800-616-1424.
