[QUOTE="Keith 66, post: 1553633, member: 15964"] Wood is wood wherever it comes from. Reclaimed or recycled wood may often be of better quality & its certainly well seasoned. I dont give it away. Years ago i was lucky enough to buy a lorry load of teak duckboards that had been ripped out of a telephone exchange, each one 5ft long & made of three boards 8" wide & 1 3/8" thick they still had huge brass hinges at one end & a large bronze lifting eye at the other. £ 150 for the lot, I have sold odd smaller bits over the years but still have most of it. People at the yacht club would say "Have you got a bit of teak, i only want a little bit", but the size would always be much bigger than a little bit! Then they would expect you to just give it to them or for a few quid. Long ago i got to the stage where i would say "No im not selling any as i have a boat to build thats going to eat most of it, I really dont want to be having to buy new from a timber yard when i run out!".
