Not far from my house they are building a new house and instead of using plywood for the roof they used 3/4 x 12" Pine boards. I stopped by there today and asked if what I thought was a scrap pile was and indead it was a scrape pile the guys said take all you want take it all we are just going to burn it. Now its not the best wood but man I got a truck load from 2' to 8' long by 12" wide what a wonderful day.

GREAT SCORE on the free wood. Now if you had a picture of the pile to add, you'd have the perfect "gloat"!"Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names.

They'll come in handy for something. Congratulations on your find.

Awesome find.
It never hurts to ask.
If anyone is looking for intarsia wood, check with the local highschool. There is tons of it in the scrap bin.
If you feel guilty taking it, offer to do some scrolling demos.CAЯL HIRD-RUTTEЯ"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."Ryobi SC180VS scroll saw EX21

Hey SSG - Thanks for the offer!
And, as one of my "mentors" used to say ""There ain't nuthin' wrong with a good gloat now and again. Keeps the rest of us alert looking for our own."
I see a planer, a bunch of pipe clamps (for glue ups), and a band saw in your future to do justice to that stash!"Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names.

by Sandy OaksA modified Sue Mey pattern to fit 1" x 4" x 10" Hard Maple. Cut on the Pegas scroll saw using a Pegas #5 MGT blade. One side says "TEACH". Flip it over and the other side says "LEARN". After sanding, dipped in diluted Shellac, sanded again and another dipping. Comments...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
