salvaged timber
Secondhand construction lumber
Salvaged timber is wood recovered from sources other than freshly harvested trees—demolished buildings, old barns, river bottoms, or trees felled by storms or disease.
The term emphasizes reuse rather than waste: The restaurant's bar was built from salvaged timber.
Salvaged timber often has weathered character prized in construction and furniture-making.
