Why recovery timber from submerged forests? One
Post# of 17862

Why recovery timber from submerged forests? One reason is that there is enough timber available in submerged forests to last for hundreds of years.
Things to remember when building with reclaimed woods --- there is a finite supply.
The amount of rare, antique and old growth wood that's available is finite. There are only so many old structures and other sources of these woods that exist. So, if you intend to buy it might make sense to procure some additional material for any repairs or expansion later on. And, you might not want to delay too long. If the wood you're contemplating is from a limited source, it may not be available when the time comes to build.
