What is Wood Planing? Learn what it is, and how to do it from this blog post!

Reclaimed wood

We've all heard stories of reclaimed wood used in new houses, right? Maybe a pretty accent wall from 100 year old oak? I LOVE when people re-use and re-purpose things, but I never stopped to consider how in the world "reclaimed" wood could look so good. Well my friends, reclaimed wood most likely went through a wood planer. I know, what the HECK is that?? It's an amazing machine that shaves the rot off of old wood.

When my friend told me about wood planing, I didn't quite understand what he meant. It's basically a magical machine that feeds the wood through and scrapes off all the ugly. Everyone should have one. It's amazing, and really simple to use. They're a little pricey, but totally beats sanding!

Literally, you feed the wood through a few times on each side and twirl the little knob to control the thickness. That's it. Video for proof: 
I hope you enjoyed this mini tutorial! Stay tuned to see what we made with our freshly planed wood :)
