Antique wood: an eco-aesthetical choice
To meet the growing demand for antique wood and antique flooring, Veser's Antique Woods tenfold its production capacity
The recent craze for reclaimed antique wood remains strong, and the North American demand for this product, especially for antique flooring, is still growing. Precisely to address that demand, Veser's Antique Woods has acquired new production capacities to machine it "already deemed" antique flooring more efficiently. "It was not only to meet the demand, but also to get a better control over the quality of our products," says Ralf Veser. Our new facilities enable us to machine solid antique wood floors as well as engineered floors. "
The North-American demand for antique wood explodes for two reasons: it sounds like a good idea, for environmental purposes, to recycle the wood from old structures in antique flooring instead of burning it. The stakeholders of the architecture and interior design (such as the design firm www.delessard.com) discovered this new original product of great character.
Indeed, consumers are constantly demanding more local green solutions. "In May, we participated in a project where the owner specifically requested, in order to reduce the environmental impact of transport, the use of antique wood reclaimed in the local region, says Veser. However, the proximity of the product is only one aspect why antique wood catches attention. Choosing reclaimed wood also prevents from cutting new trees. "
Moreover, antique wood itself has advantages that make this choice relevant: "Antique wood has a very unique look; it allows creating unique and unmatched designs. Antique woods are also denser and more stable than other woods, due to the harsher climate that was prevailed in the past, trees were growing slower than they are in our times, it was resulting in a more solid wood with tighter grain. But at the end, it's not the toughness, it's not the tighter grain, it's not the transport that makes the decision, it's the exceptional beauty of all and any reclaimed antique woods that convinces the customer to go with that option!"

We have inherited a 1973 Grand Safari station wagon. The body looks like crap but it has a 400 c.i. engine?
that runs great, very fast. I know that station wagons are not hot collector items but I was thinking maybe someone would want it for the engine. What would the engine be worth and what would be the best way to advertise it? Or would it be better to just try and sell the whole car as an antique or just sell the motor and scrap the rest? thanks
The 73 Grand Safari was available with a 400 c.i. Pontiac that is decently popular with the Pontiac Performance Guys.
The condition of the engine/vehicle will mostly determine what you can sell it for, and also how many times it has been rebuilt. Most cores I've come across sell for anywhere from $300 and up. Freshly rebuilt, this engine can bring in about $1100 or more.
As for advertising, make sure you list the vehicle's Year/Make/Model/Condition, the engine's condition, and list it as a Pontiac 400 c.i. engine.
