  1. Flowering Cherry and Alder Cane

    Not a lot to say really, I've been making canes for myself for a couple years and started selling them on Etsy back at the end of November. This is one I recently completed. This cane has a handle made of flowering cherry that I got from a pile of free wood lying next to the street. Don't...

  2. Universal Miter Saw Stand Conversion

    I had a very annoying, space consuming, cumbersome Delta Universal Miter Stand (model 50-155). Using free pallets, I made the laminated top to mount the saw, and a few 2×4s to build the stand. I took the wheels, axel, and infeed/outfeed rollers from the Delta unit and attached them accordingly...

  3. Reclaimed pallet wood cutting board (mostly white and red oak)

    The series for this project - here is quite in-depth, so I won't recreate it here. I'll just sum up… I got a stack of slats from a pallet from a local bearing shop all cut up nicely in a stack of 14"-16" pieces. Sorting them, I found many that appeared to be kinds of oak. I ran these over the...

  5. Folding Pine Chair & Table

    I had a ton of these 1 " x 1" pine sticks from a local mill. They put them in a dumpster with a big FREE sign on it. So I took as many as I could. Every day there was more of them. I don't know what they were for but I have had many uses for them. This just one.

  6. Switchback Bookshelf

    I was looking at bookshelves to build for my daughter's first apartment and came across this: Switchback bookcase and showed it to her. She loved it, so I told her when she moved out I'd make it. Well a few months later she's out and I reversed the design in Photoshop and Illustrator to make...

  7. Firewood & Pallet Nightstands

    My wife wanted night stands. I didn't want expensive box store junk. At the end of the day (well, year), I spent $10 for the drawer pulls and used glue, stain and poly that I already had. The wood itself was free. The darker wood is stained pallet wood, and the yellow wood is osage orange I...

  8. First Pen I've turned!

    It's simple, my aunt gave me an old lathe so I tried my hand at a couple of pens. Purple heart wood, I gave it to my wife and she loves it. I like to think its because I made it for her but it maybe just because its purple, she just smiles when I bring it up. Thanks for looking.

  9. Mr Wood Recycler

    Yes, maybe a box spring headed to the dump & I know it is "junk". But the first time I tore apart a box spring I realized that you could get a fair amount of rough pine this is the latest box spring I tore down. This wood is handy for jig & backing on projects. The best thing is it is free.

    I recently signed up to a few "freecycle" groups close to where I live and there are tons of people just giving away great wood. Maple, Black Walnut, Oak, etc. For the most part, its, you cut it, you haul it, you can have it. If you are in the market for some free wood, albeit sometimes...
