Furniture makers and collectors have gone through to extreme lengths to obtain good wood for furniture such as the purchase of old wood from houses and other structures that are being torn down. Efforts to reduce the pressure on the ever lessening old growth forests are underway and reclaiming lumber for other purposes such as furniture are being hailed as better solutions to cutting them down. The wood was so old they used a saw to cut paper thin wafers that was stuck onto particle wood to make furniture (the wood is too valuable to use as is). So you better get on the lookout for some hot deals on antiques and wood furnishings, they are surely getting harder and harder to get hold of.
