don in brooklin on Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Not as bad as before but I too am a wood hoarder. In 2000, I restored a 150 year old house and I saved all the interior planks that were usable, floor boards, door casing etc. took up an area in my garage 14 x 6 x 6 or more. Used it for all sorts of projects. When I moved, I culled some of it out but still had 2 trailer loads. I am now down to just a few planks but am using the space for the wood that I am accumulating for doing Intarsia sometime in the future. If I see a nice board at the lumber yard I buy it and save it just in case. I rarely throw out a cut off as you never know. YES, my name is Don and I am a hoarder.

ChelCass Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Anyone who is a scroller is a wood hoarder. Or perhap wood repurposer would be a better term! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I didn't think I hoarded wood until I moved. I gave away 4 boxes (the size that reams of paper come in) of various wood and moved about 10 times that much. Oh, and I committed the big sin...I burned a bunch of logs I was saving.

gator Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 ths past fall i spent 2 months at silver dollar city working with a friend on his chuck wagon. every 2 days they would bring wood up for us to burn all day for coals for our dutch ovens. every piece i picked up looked at and did bring home a bunch of oak hickory that had great grain patterns. for cutting and drying. i guess i made up for you burning logs i saved a bunch of logs meant for burning. "i am tom cook and I am a wood hoarder!" I didn't think I hoarded wood until I moved. I gave away 4 boxes (the size that reams of paper come in) of various wood and moved about 10 times that much.

Jim Finn Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 ........"I am not only a wood hoarder I have people helping me. ................." I have folks giving me wood all the time. Lots of guys buy wood , start a project, loose interest, sell their equipment and give away their, left over, wood. There I am with a truck and a smile. I also buy new, eastern red cedar by the pickup load full. (200+ board feet). I also have a lot of curly maple that was given to me ,over a year ago,to make some items that I have not yet gotten the go ahead on. When I moved my workshop I saved all the 2x4's and 2x6's and have a pile of them. I have used about 1/2 of them so far and about to start a home project that will use the rest I think. When a neighbor cuts down a tree, there I am with my truck and a smile. I have some very nice apple wood now. I use it in intarsia and to inlay it into the cedar. Yes, I am a hoarder and yes, life is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton717 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I don't consider having wood all over the place hoarding........I call it being prepared !!!!!! you never know when you are going to need that one little piece. I have friends that bring me wood all the time. today one was cutting down an elm tree and brought me two burls from it. the shop where I buy my wood always save me cutoffs with wild and crazy grain. my scrap bins are always over flowing with little pieces left from my intarsia. I just can't bring myself to burn it, so I box it up and give it to other wood hoarders. Yes, my name is Clayton and I am a wood hoarder.
