Anyone who’s into industrial or farmhouse style knows that reclaimed wood—wood that’s been salvaged from some other purpose and reused in a new way—can be an amazing addition to a home. Reclaimed wood is often beautifully weathered and unique, so it can really add a nice touch to your space, and you can use it to create furniture, accent walls, decor accents, and more.
This upcycled kitchen by Dirty Girl Construction is a good example of how reclaimed wood can be used to create a cool new look (you can see it in the island shelves and the side panels of the cabinets) but the wood used in this particular build came from the original structure of the home. So, what do you do when you don’t have wood to reuse from your own renovation project? You have to find it elsewhere. The good news is, it may seem like a challenge, but it’s surprisingly easy—there are actually several places you can search for reclaimed lumber online, not to mention, more local dealers and options by you than you might realize.

If you’re on the hunt for reclaimed wood for your home or your latest DIY project, here’s where to start your search.
Home Depot

Etsy really is a treasure trove of…well, everything. Reclaimed wood is definitely no exception. You can find reclaimed wood decor and furniture easily, but a quick search of the site for “reclaimed wood” will also lead you to shops that sell reclaimed lumber as well.
eBay
Much like Etsy, eBay has all the reclaimed wood you could ever need. A search for “reclaimed lumber” currently pulls up more than 1,000 results, so you definitely have options to choose from.
Craigslist
If you’d rather pick up your reclaimed wood locally, Craigslist is also an option. Just head to your area’s Craigslist page, go to the “for sale” section, and filter by “materials”—you can search within there for reclaimed wood, lumber, and timber, and you’re sure to find some gems. From there, you can reach out to people who’ve posted ads you’re interested in and arrange to purchase them and pick them up.
Reclaimed Lumber Dealers
There are plenty of companies out there that recover and sell reclaimed lumber, you just have to find one near you, since many of them only deliver locally if they do sell online. Some options in different areas around the country include:
- Brooklyn, NY — Sawkill Lumber Co.: sawkil.com
- Crystal Lake, IL — All American Reclaim: allamericanreclaim.com
- Tacoma, WA — Rhine Reclaimed Wood: rhinewood.com

Of course, some of these reclaimed wood dealers do have inventory online that you can shop from long distance, as well, like these:
- Vintage Timberworks: vintagetimber.com
- Longleaf Lumber: longleaflumber.com
- Plank & Mill: plankandmill.com
Plank & Mill is an especially interesting option if you’re new to using reclaimed wood. The company sells real reclaimed wood planks with an adhesive peel-and-stick backing, so you can easily install them to create accent walls in your home.
Architectural Salvage Retailers
Another option to check out: architectural salvage yards and stores. These businesses sell more than just reclaimed wood, too—in terms of materials, you’ll find things like hardware, stained glass, lighting, and more, along with furniture and decor made from reclaimed materials that you can purchase. You can find a list of architectural salvage stores in every state at Old House Online, but a few to check out include:
- Chicago, IL — Rebuilding Exchange: rebuildingexchange.org
- Los Angeles, CA — Olde Good Things: ogstore.com
- Bozrah, CT — Olde New England Salvage Co.: oldenewenglandsalvage.com
- Jackson, MS — Storied Salvage: facebook.com/storiedsalvage
Local Demolition Sites
If you know of buildings that are set to be demolished in your area, there’s always a chance you’ll be able to take some of the lumber. Try contacting the owner of the property to see if you can buy—or even take for free, since they might just want it to go—the lumber from them post-demolition.
