Much of the timber in my house is recycled. However it does present its own challenges in that you are limited to what is available and what you can get. This can result in a lot of extra work in tailoring it to suit and can add quite a bit of extra cost and time. If it were used more generally then I would think supplies would be rapidly exhausted and in the meantime the demand for the skills required to work with it would skyrocket. All worth it though on a limited scale.
Reality always wins in the end.
