Free Wood

[Rockytime]

I am fortunate to have a neighbor who has a business that builds exotic things for very high end houses. The make curved staircases, arches and other things. His dumpster is full of various hardwoods. He brought me an armload yesterday.

What a wonderful neighbor.

Do you think you could convince your neighbor to move to the house next to mine?  

[WayneMahler]

Wished I had a neighbor like that. Such is life.  

[Foxfold]

Wow, lucky you. That lot will keep you going for a while  xx

Address of the dumpster? 

[tomsteve]

just in time as the TOM foundation- a non profit organization helping people named Tom in my shop further their woodworking skills- is accepting TAX DEDUCTABLE donations to help other woodworkers in my shop with names other than tom!

 

excellent score and im sure you are going to find some awesome pieces to create with all that.

Your Christmas presents are early this year!

[Scrappile]

Lucky you, for sure.  You should use some of it to make the giver a little something, to thank him.  Let him see what you can do with it.

I have offered to cut portraits of his youngsters. He also gave me some bog oak. I made him a pen with it.

Merry Christmas!!! Have fun with it!

Dang! All of my neighbors are old retired folks like me. I might get a hand-me-down book or something but never anything like that.

 

[JAC1961]

That sounds like an awesome deal!  Any houses for sale in the neighborhood?

[Rockytime]

One just came up a block over!

[wombatie]

We could all do with a neighbor like him.  Great score Les.

That is a nice batch.  Isn't it great to get bunches of free lumber like that.  I have a nephew who works at a local sawmill who just found out that I can use short 1' to 1.5' pieces so he is getting me the cut offs of the lumber after it has been dried and graded.  I use the maple he gets me for all my ornaments.

Here is another source of FREE WOOD<
If you have a kitchen remodeler near you they throw away the old cabinets. Good wood.
