Popular Post kmmcrafts Posted January 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Last week when helping my brother that owns the Sawmill find a new motor for his skid steer he mentioned that he was going to be sorting grade lumber this week and I need to come pick the scrap bins or the cutoffs go in the wood burning stove. So today before going to pick up my CNC I thought I’d see what he had. I saved quite a lot of cherry and a few pieces of Oak from being burned up. Should be able to put this to good use. Couple of the pieces I grabbed as scraps for the mistakes I’ll be making on my CNC trying to learn it.

JAC1961 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Free lumber is always the best lumber. The place I buy my hardwoods from sells bags and boxes of their cutoffs for a couple bucks. You'd be amazed at the number of small projects I've made with that stuff, and the rest is firewood. SCROLLSAW703 and kmmcrafts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Most of these are 1-1/4 - 2 inch pieces.. so most of this will be resawn on my bandsaw since most everything I make is cut from 5/8 inch or thinner.. so doing that will just about double that stack.. should last me a good bit of time. BUT.. and this is a bigger reason I rarely get this free stuff from my brother... It's not been dried yet so all this lumber will be stacked / stickered up in my rafters for probably at least 6 months before i'll be able to use it.. That said.. I have about about 4 times this much free wood from him that's been setting in my other shop for about two years now.. so I'll probably be digging that out this spring and start making things with it..
