Companies who produce reclaimed oak flooring and other reclaimed wood products typically find reusable oak from  a variety of old structures. Most of the time these structures were set to be demolished and if not for the reclaimers, the wood would be destroyed. Sometimes natural sources like rivers and lakes are "mined" of their bottom contents where loggers way back when, let cut lumber go to the bottom and never retrieved it. This kind of lumber is re-milled and sold as reclaimed wood flooring and other reclaimed products. Several finishes can be applied from a roughed out rugged look to a smooth, sanded and varnished look to give the buyer of reclaimed oak flooring many options to choose from.

There are also several methods of milling reclaimed oak flooring for installation including using the tongue and groove method that is common with modern homes and wood flooring.
