OCtoolguy Posted April 13, 2015 Report Posted April 13, 2015 Wow, must be nice to live in an area where that kind of stuff still exists. Nothing here anymore, It's all been torn down and built over. Great little gift for you. Congrats. Ray Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted April 14, 2015 Report Posted April 14, 2015 Ike that is a nice haul. There is a lot you can make from wood that old and size. Glue a couple of sections together to make a board 9 inches wide plane it smooth and make a bowl or cut 5 sections and make a small chest of drawers. The possibilities are endless. DW Quote
