Just had to tell someone, 'cuz I'm doing this in total isolation. Laboriously salvaging and pulling nails from ancient wood from demolition that would have otherwise just gone to the dump. Redwood from 1890-1940s California, when they unconscionably cut down trees over a millennium old ;_; light as a feather, stronger than steel. Milled ages ago and structurally unfazed. Only a culture beyond salvation would treat this priceless material like trash.

When I worked as a timberwright in CO we recycled old growth doug fir timbers from warehouses in Seattle to timberframe homes. As woodcrafter at Grand Teton N.P. I recycled redwood from S.E. AK water tanks to make the signs. Bought a load for myself to make doors & cabinets for a cabin I built in WY. Wonderful wood. Enjoy your project.
