Another source I never see anyone talk about is dunnage. Around here,
most of the dunnage is 4X4 of some type of hardwood. Some of it is
great stuff.

ALL of the tamarind I turn came from freight crates that had been used
to ship diesel engines from Brazil. I got a bunch more (that will likely
eventually become a major workbench) as dunnage between steel wheels
shipped from, you guessed it, Brazil. I have NEVER seen wood hang on to
a nail the way this lumber does!

I've even salvaged walnut 3x3's and LOTS of poplar and red oak from
between engine heads.

Your money ain't for nothing when your wood's for free. ;-) (apologies
to ZZ Top)
