At Manomin Resawn Timbers, we believe that there are a number of furniture pieces that just look and function better when they’re made out of wood and, more specifically, reclaimed wood.

Easy Steps to Building a Wood Bed

Most of the tools you’ll need for a reclaimed wood project are the same, no matter the project you’re working on. One thing that does change are the fasteners you use to connect all of the different pieces. In the case of reclaimed wood bed frames, screws are your best option. Here’s a list of tools to have on hand:

Finishing nailer
Wood Screws
Drill or Impact Driver
Skill saw, or Miter saw
Tape measure
Pencil
Safety glasses

After you’ve gathered the tools, you’ll, of course, need the wood, but you’ll also need a plan. Here’s an example of some different wood bed plans that you could use as a jumping-off point.

Where to Buy Reclaimed Wood

There are two ways that you can get reclaimed wood for your project. First, you could reclaim the wood yourself. This would entail finding the wood, cleaning it, removing nails, and drying it. Finding the wood itself can be a challenge, and reclaiming it will take time away from your project. This is what leads homeowners to the second option: purchasing reclaimed wood.

Reclaimed wood can be purchased in ready-to-use condition from reclaimed wood dealers. A reclaimed wood dealer such as MR Timbers will have the wood ready to be installed in your home. This includes it being entirely de-nailed and cleaned for you.
