Places you may not have thought of for wood

I own a custom cabinet shop so we always have scraps of Oak, cherry, maple, etc...

One nice thing about cabinet grade wood is that it is dry.

Most of your local cab shop are probably throwing cut off pieces away in the summer time. Now might not be a good time to check because they are probably going to burn it in their heaters.

Good suggestion, thanks. I think most cabinets are now made out of state for us due to air quality, but I will make a few rounds. Great idea

No argument here. The good part is still having shorts weather in November. Beyond that.......'tis a peculiar place for sure.

The difference in California and Florida is that in Florida YOU get to pick the nuts and fruits.

We are Florida bound in 4 years. I won't have to worry about in-state college tuition and my wife will be retired. I can work anywhere. Not settled on a place yet, but probably Amelia Island. Love the South, love Florida, hate California except for the weather.

Great suggestion, that I tried once here in Portland. Unfortunately, the shop charged for their scrap and it wasn't very cheap. I'm sure it works in some places though.

Yep!

A friend of mine has a saw mill and I get quite a bit of scrap hardwood as needed. Naturally, the sizes will be irregular, but that's not much of a problem with my 4' long firebox.
