[quote=Anonymous]Reclaimed wood is always expensive. Much cheaper to buy cheap new lumber and "reclaim" it yourself. There are a million people with tutorials online doing this, but essentially buy some pine, buy $15 of miniwax stains - maybe three pots of different colors, stain with brush, paper towel whatever - to create multi textured coloring. And then start banging it up with different tools - hammer, rasp, hard brush....It's not quite the same thing as reclaimed, but looks like a 90% approximation. And it will look better than 90% of the reclaimed wood that is being sold - since most good reclaimed wood is immediately snatched up and sold at crazy, crazy high prices. So even if you bought "reclaimed wood", it would probably just be crappy lumber from a 1950s suburban tear down -- and accordingly has all the charm of plywood. [/quote]
