Reclaimed wood furniture........

[RackRocker]

We have been looking at furniture stores and seeing the price of this stuff blows my mind. I found a place in "Mur-vlle" that has all kinds of reclaimed boards for $1 per board ft. Seems like a deal to me. So I'm gonna try my hand at building our kitchen table and bed. Anybody have any tips and tricks on working with it? I have a carpentry background but never done anything like this.

I do stuff like that all the time and my neighbor does more than me. If you have questions let me know and I will PM my # and try to help you out.

Let me know when you come to Mur ville R R

If you can get it for $1.00 per board foot jump on it. I sell it for $5.00. All nails are pulled metal detected and pulled the missed ones treated for bugs and put in the drying kiln. I am sure that for that price all that hasn't been done but still a good deal.

Would love to see some of your finished work ghost5.

Good luck on your projects RackRock.

Here are a few pics of the big shop and one finished piece. My neighbor helped with this one and made one of the slots a little too big. Still came out ok. Oak and black walnut with no mechanical fasteners all glue, pegs and slotted boards with drive in wedges. Oh that is a wine cabinet being built in the background.

Very nice work ghost. Now, what is that first piece, with the slots?

Where in Murvul is this place? If you're going to run it through a Planer, be dang sure its been de-nailed.
