I went by a constuction site the other day and they were tossing away some
oak flooring planks they had left over. I brought them home and made wifey a
unusual planter box. Now I need more freeby oak flooring planks for another
one. She wants a matching set.

Nice planter. Nice price too!

A few years back our neighbor worked for a company that installed hardwood
floors - usually unfinished oak - and he would give me the "scraps". I made
several night stands/night tables and even made a curio cabinet/coffee table
for my wifes grandmother. I showed the items to the neighbor and his wife
and they couldn't believe what I was making from their so called trash.

Congrats John, you have taken recycling to a whole new level.

The stuff people throw out...

....has always absolutely amazed me.

Way to go!
