One benefit of hanging out with the undesireables at the smoking area…
You spot the crate planked with 1/2Ëť quartersawn, spalted sycamore.
As a side note, I took several of these down to level with the Veritas low-angle jack, which made quick work of it with thin full width shavings and no tear-out when used across the grain. I have not cambered it's iron, as I use it for shooting primarily but it did the preliminary work handily and with minimal waste in thickness. All drum-sanded to 100 grit, jointed on one edge.
With cup and wind on some boards I ended up with thicknesses between 1/4 and 7/16th, and we'll see what tomorrow will bring once things are rested, but at bottom line there will be some interesting shop-made veneer if nothing else. Thanks crate-makin' guy wherever you are.

Good find, maybe one of these days I will get lucky and find some "free" wood - but, I hope that I don't have to start smoking again to get lucky, cause that ain't gonna happen )

My workplace usually has hundreds of skids lying around and I looked through a bunch of them recently and was surprised to see what surprises awaited me. With a little hard work, a crow bar and a planer you can come up with some very interesting hardwoods. Found some great planks of Poplar, Ash, Maple, Red and White Oak and some cool spalted and naturally stained pieces as well.
