Salvaging and reclaiming materials from these buildings, particularly wood, provides woodworkers with an opportunity to repurpose valuable resources while preserving the history and craftsmanship associated with the original structures. Reclaimed wood from bank salvage projects often exhibits unique characteristics, such as aged patina, distinctive wear patterns, and intricate carvings or details, which can add character and interest to woodworking projects.
2. Woodworking and bank salvage: Woodworkers can create a variety of projects using reclaimed wood from bank salvage, including:

• Furniture: Reclaimed wood can be crafted into tables, chairs, benches, and other furniture pieces that incorporate the wood's unique history and character.
