Source for small quantities of reclaimed wood- mixed species?

You can try Minnesota Barnwood sales@minnesotabarnwood.com

I buy barnwood from them, they may have what your looking for, normally they have a large inventory. Very nice people, and are willing to ship smaller amounts. I usually buy 20 to 80 bd/ft and have it shipped.

Good luck on your hunt!

Here’s an LJ who is a master at locating, preparing and artistically and wisely using reclaimed hardwood:

Shoot him a PM and I suspect you’ll get some good info.

Kindly,

This is the time of year I start driving by the local lawn and garden tractor retailers. Now is when they start getting their inventory in from China, Korea, wherever. They’re usually more than happy to have someone haul off the shipping frames. I’ll be damned if I know what species half the wood is but there is definitely a variety and some nice, salvageable pieces in the lengths you’re looking for.
