A friend of ours lost their house a year ago in a tornado, and while he was rebuilding I stopped by. He had a pile of scrap wood that he was going to burn, and that just isn’t right, I don’t care who you are! So I loaded it up, brought it home, and have used it for everything from picture frames to beds and nightstands. This bed and nightstand I made out of Earl’s woodpile for our daughter and new son-in-law, Nice queen size bed and matching night stand and the only cost was a little time! Now you can’t beat that!

Nice job with reusing products that otherwise would no doubt have been long gone.
