Passing some wasteland today I spotted these, they are solid oak.
Well, I was not going leave them, no way. I don’t drive these days, so I had to carry them about a mile home. Good job done don’t you think. 🙂

20 June 2013 at 2:58 pm #13780Funny how people must have passed by there innumerable times without thinking anything of the “junk” sitting there. Hard to imagine a better example of “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.
Great find and well worth the work, I’m sure!
20 June 2013 at 4:19 pm #13782Did you carry them all at once? You are strong man Ken)) Nice boxes on your bench))
20 June 2013 at 6:49 pm #13852That must of been hard work Ken Oak is pretty heavy stuff.
Hope you get enough out of it to be usable good luck.20 June 2013 at 8:01 pm #13857Great find Ken it will be interesting to see what you can get out of it,based on what i have seen on the various sites it does not have to be blemish free they iether leave the defects as a feature or fill the voids with epoxy resin
Thanks David, I have been having a look around the different websites, and you are right. The defects really can add some nice character, depending on what you make.
I’m thinking of saving for a bandsaw, not just for this, it would also be great for getting thinner stock for boxes and drawer sides and the like.
Ken 😉
