Good Question: Find Reclaimed Wood in LA?

Hi AT,

I need to find a resource in the LA area for obtaining reclaimed wood scraps. Does
anyone know of such a place?

--Ted

Hi Ted--

Great question since using reclaimed wood cuts down on what ends up in a landfill! We don't have much experience with reclaimed wood but doing a quick search we found the following resources.

• Woodweb for buying reclaimed wood online
• Reclaimed Wood Flooring for wood floors
• Reclaimed Dimensional Lumber & Beams

Has anyone in LA used reclaimed wood or know of a resource for buying some?

Try Santa Fe Salvage: santafesalvage.net. They've been posted on AT before. There is also Los 4Ms. I'm not sure if that's how it's spelled but they are at 5230 Valley Blvd. 90023, ph: 323-225-3195.

may want to check out the Green Building Resource Center in Santa Monica:
