Anything you build with "reclaimed" wood moves the sale price two decimal places to the right over new wood.That's awesome.
Stay tuned. We utilized a lot of refurbished items on the house. Well, not a lot, but some. Most of what we removed was rotten so there wasn't much to repurpose.
The front porch was some kind of untreated wood with about a 1/2" thick layer of paint on the top. Heavy as hell wood ( likely lead paint... ). The bottom side is really cool looking. We haven't reutilized it anywhere but did keep it. Same with many of the old rough sawn studs we removed. I'll use them for something even if it's not on this house. I now have a decent table saw and access to a planer. So I may start honing my wood working skills into something random with all the old wood.
