Steps:1. Visit millwork shops specializing in reclaimed wood; ask to view samples.
2. Reclaimed wood is typically available in square-edged boards and tongue-and-groove flooring.
3. Look for boards that have richly colored and visually interesting wood-grain patterns.
4. For extra character, look for boards with nail holes, rust spots and other distressed markings.
5. For hardwearing flooring, choose end-grain planks or end-grain tiles; both products feature thick slices of reclaimed wood set on end.
