Looking for reclaimed wood

Behind motorcycle dealers, tractor dealers, tool shops (pallets), furniture stores, cabinet makers, hardware or home stores, etc.

If you want something more exotic, limit your search to businesses that sell primarily imported merchandise (yamaha motorcycles, etc). Their local woods the package with may be exotic to you.

Hey Tom, I’ve been looking for same. found some in an old house that is going to be torn down eventually. My suggestion, drive out east on 74 and start looking for old barns and out buildings that are falling down and ask if you can start tearing pieces off. I do like DannyBoys idea….I have built stuff from old pallets….takes a while to get all teh nails out though. Or get enough you can burn whatever has too many nails in it.
