I'm not sure that the fact that it is reclaimed offsets the energy as much as comparing the finishing method to the alternatives. It would need to be compared to the energy consumed in painting or staining the wood, and how many times it would need to be refinished over it's lifetime. I'm not sure how they would compare. It should be made clear that we do not see this process as scalable to a larger building. We would not consider covering a house with it, for example. That is a very good question.

Does the use of reclaimed wood offset the energy consumption in this finishing process? Looks great. Does the use of reclaimed wood offset the energy consumption in this finishing process?
