Heh! <BR/><BR/>Seriously if you take boards like that from an old building and run them through a planer and/or sand them down you often find a lot of beautiful wood. I have a friend who brings in old cedar boards that look just like those. He puts them in his plane and takes off the outter layer, sands them down and you see this incredibly rich, beautiful cedar wood!<BR/><BR/>He then makes little jewelry boxes or step stools or chairs, etc. out of the wood and gets quite a bit of money at craft shows for those items.<BR/><BR/>He is a full time carpenter but tells me that he actually makes about 1/3 of his annual income by salvaging wood boards and turning them into household items.<BR/><BR/>Take care.Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072219347283927398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839954687127651900.post-63806419360614684342009-01-29T20:24:00.000-07:002009-01-29T20:24:00.000-07:00A brothel?A brothel?Kris McCrackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789355638389350528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839954687127651900.post-53808775692153520752009-01-29T19:21:00.000-07:002009-01-29T19:21:00.000-07:00Grab some of those boards and sell them on eBay. ...Grab some of those boards and sell them on eBay.
