Reused Wood

Introduction

Reused wood, not defined by any specific species, refers to aged wood that has been seasoned over time, including recycled or second-hand wood. This type of wood is distinguished by its uniqueness, often sourced from early Taiwan, particularly during the Japanese colonial era and the early years of the Nationalist government. At that time, wood was relatively abundant, and constructions predominantly used solid wood. Different homeowners might have chosen different types of wood, such as fir, hinoki, or other mixed timbers.

The beauty of reused wood lies not only in the material itself but also in the marks left by time, such as weathered gray tones, nail holes, and other usage marks, all of which endow the wood with a unique sense of history. After long periods of natural weathering, these woods become more stable in nature, and problems like warping or swelling caused by age are eliminated.

The repurposing of reused wood as a second-hand material not only showcases the environmental potential of solid wood but also proves that proper protection and reuse can continually rejuvenate wood.
