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.
@neotoy old neighbours had their 80’s mahogany framed windows replaced with UPVC. Sadly the mahogany frames were gone before I could save them…hopefully the window guys saved them, but likely they were dumped 😢
We salvage every scrap of wood, there’s a growing woodpile for future projects.
Thanks for saving the redwood 👍
