However, one needs to be careful while purchasing reclaimed wood as there are many vendors who dupe their customers
. First, one needs to understand the difference between a new wood and the old, used one. This will help in making the right purchase and recognizing the vendors who are selling the new wood in the name of reclaimed lumber. It's always a good idea to purchase used wood from well-known sellers and who can be trusted. Friends and colleagues can help in zeroing on the right vendor. Always look out for the certificate mark from FSC certified that confirms that the wood is really the used one.
