Woodworking question: reclaimed wood
Posted on 4/12/15 at 5:21 pm

Anyone here do any work with reclaimed wood? I like woodworking but have only worked with what I can get a my local lumber yard. The only out of the ordinary wood I've ever worked with was rough cut cypress. I've built a farmhouse table and other small misc projects but would like to find some reclaimed wood for some other projects I have in mind.
Do you just ride around hoping to see a building being torn down?

Look looking for source wood? Check Craig's List...

Yup Craigslist.. if they tearing it down they going to be selling it. Some pallets are made of oak.

Drive around NOLA and look for a dumpster in front of an oh old house. I saw two dudes doing it this weekend, funny you made a thread about it.

I use a lot of old pallets. Fortunately, I have hundreds to choose from where I work. We also check CL for wood and also drive around looking for wood and old fence boards.

There's a guy in Lafayette that has a huge warehouse full of reclaimed cypress. He buys old homes and barns that are being torn down. Sells for about $3.75 b/ft.

Yamaha dealerships get their bikes and boat motors in mahogany crates.
