ike Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I just got back from the saw mill and they were cutting cherry, I got 82 feet of cherry in with of 6 to 12 wide and from 3 to 5 ft. long, just for the asking all I had to do is load it in my truck, No charge and said that they were going to saw Cherry for the next 2 weeks In about 3 weeks I will go back and see what they are cutting hopefully it will be Walnut or Oak. It's ben a good Week. I will have to let it dry out Probably til about July Edited November 3, 2014 by ike amazingkevin, Wilson's Woodworking, Rob Roy and 2 others 5 Quote

LarryEA Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 Scream...........What a blessing! Quote
browders Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 That's crazy good. Just a little jealous. Quote
rjR Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) GREAT SCORE! I scored some nice cedar shorts from the fencing company down the road; by just asking to buy some of the fence rejects! They make great birdhouses and planters! Free is even better! I am going to make a few beer growler double carriers from them! Straight out of their dumpster! Could have had other usable wood there too; same price! When I go back; I will have to take some candy bars or something as a "Thanks Guys"! Some of the pieces had staples I had to pull; man what a NON-problem! Edited November 4, 2014 by rjR Quote
ike Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Posted November 4, 2014 There is wood out there at little or no cost , What someone doesn't take is to be ran thru the chipper. JUST ASK Quote

spirithorse Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Fantastic, Ike, Good for you!I wonder why they are just chipping it?I thought I had scored a while back when I asked a cabinet making company if I could take their scrap out of their dumpster. Turns out every piece in there was just particle board or chip board with a veneer on it! Worthless!God Bless! Spirithorse Quote

Fish Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Way to go! Wish u could have been rigt behind you. Quote
Wilson's Woodworking Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Ohhhhhh I LOVE Cherry!!!!!!! You lucky dog you. I wish I could fall into a deal like that one. Quote
Scrappile Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Great deal for you. I live in the desert, no sawmills here. Very hard to get timber from a sagebrush! Quote
heppnerguy Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Nice when you can score like that. I am truly lucky because my grandson owns the largest cabinet shop in the North West. I get a lot of free wood from him, whenever I am in his area. Ask Travis about the wood i gave to him when we met. He will tell you that is it really nice wood. I also have a supplier for free Poplar, I am a really lucky guy too.. Dick heppnerguy Travis 1 Quote
ike Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Posted November 6, 2014 You sure are lucky. I get my popular from Paxton woods in Madera Ohio. It runs me about $2.45 a board ft. so the freebie saves you a lot of money, Quote
