RE: The daunting task of my basement remodel into a wood shop Post 1
I know the feeling about old wood. There was an 1870s four room home on the perimeter of our land that had been unused for fifty years, and for hay storage before that. ll of a sudden, the owner decided he didn't want it and bulldozed it and burn it to ashes one Saturday afternoon. All that beautiful wood up in smoke! I coulda throttled the guy. I would have cleared it away just for the wood! Ahhh... it comes from a lack of understanding, I guess. I built a set of oak stairs a few years back and have a stack of random pieces of 1" oak that really is not useful but I can't throw it out. Someday, there will be a use for it.
