Water Reclamation
Water Reclaimed is a recovery process that involves the ethical harvesting of standing dead trees that have been submerged in riverbeds, reservoirs, and lakes for decades, even centuries. These underwater forests, preserved by nature’s elements, are a trove of high-quality timber that would otherwise remain hidden and unused. By carefully retrieving these long-lost resources, TerraMai not only prevents the need for deforestation but also gives these ancient woods a second life, transforming them into exquisite flooring, paneling, and other wood products. This method of sourcing wood is not only sustainable but also deeply respectful of the environment, ensuring that each piece of reclaimed timber retains its natural beauty and character while minimizing the ecological footprint.

One of the standout offerings from TerraMai’s Water Reclaimed collection is our Angelique, recovered from a lake in South America that was created by damming in the early twentieth century. This unique wood boasts a rich history, having been submerged and preserved for over a century. The Angelique wood’s distinctive grain patterns and deep, warm tones are the result of its long immersion in mineral-rich waters, which have enhanced its natural characteristics. Now expertly transformed by TerraMai’s skilled artisans, this rare and beautiful wood brings a sense of heritage and sustainability to modern architectural and design projects, offering an unparalleled blend of history, beauty, and environmental responsibility.
