with everything going on in my life i find i cannot afford to buy wood and also i tend to not have good sources to buy wood. I have on several occasions picked up cedar fence pickets from neighbors replacing rotted and broken sections. I found some 4×4 oak posts that were most likely in a barn. I often also dig through the cutoff bin at home depot for bits of wood.

I voted “something else.” That just means that I haven’t had the chance yet. However, given the chance, it’s heads first into the dumpster!!

Most of what I build, I build out of wood from old pallets

Dang… that is a good question.

Here in Florida, there are plenty of people who work with drift wood…. Not sure how they handle it…

Ehhhhhh, not sure! Was someone offering for you to come out and pick up the stuff they were throwing out?

We have beach and river sweeps here. I have always been leary about wood soaked in salt water.

Can anyone advise me what I need to do to use the glory fines. With winter storms coming the tidal creeks will have good pickens. respectively submitted

Just got some curly maple out of a dumpster last week. Old school furniture, easels to be more precice. Have not decided what to do with it yet. Good wood is good wood no matter where it comes from.

Does Craigslist count as the dumpster?

Every spring the town has a free pick-up of discards. Just set out stuff at the curb and the Boy Scouts (with help) pick it up. The night before is trolling heaven for getting some old furniture and recycling the wood. Picked up some QSWO, walnut and maple in the process.
