rjR Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) GREAT SCORE! I scored some nice cedar shorts from the fencing company down the road; by just asking to buy some of the fence rejects! They make great birdhouses and planters! Free is even better! I am going to make a few beer growler double carriers from them! Straight out of their dumpster! Could have had other usable wood there too; same price! When I go back; I will have to take some candy bars or something as a "Thanks Guys"! Some of the pieces had staples I had to pull; man what a NON-problem!

ike Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 There is wood out there at little or no cost , What someone doesn't take is to be ran thru the chipper. JUST ASK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Fantastic, Ike, Good for you!I wonder why they are just chipping it?I thought I had scored a while back when I asked a cabinet making company if I could take their scrap out of their dumpster. Turns out every piece in there was just particle board or chip board with a veneer on it! Worthless!God Bless! Spirithorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Great deal for you. I live in the desert, no sawmills here. Very hard to get timber from a sagebrush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Nice when you can score like that. I am truly lucky because my grandson owns the largest cabinet shop in the North West. I get a lot of free wood from him, whenever I am in his area. Ask Travis about the wood i gave to him when we met. He will tell you that is it really nice wood. I also have a supplier for free Poplar, I am a really lucky guy too.. Dick heppnerguy Travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 You sure are lucky. I get my popular from Paxton woods in Madera Ohio. It runs me about $2.45 a board ft. so the freebie saves you a lot of money, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
