Hey all, can you believe it... in this morning's classifieds was an ad in
the "Free" section: "TEAK WOOD - salvaged from boat - in alley behind ...."
The address was not far from my house, so I drove over there to check it out
thinking it might just be little trim scraps or handrails.
Much to my surprise they were heavy boards probably 8 of them, roughly 6/4
by 5 or 6" wide and 4' to 6' long... pretty scuffed up and gritty/grimy on
the outside, but might be something worthwhile inside. Anyway, someone else
beat me there by a minute and was loading them into his truck.
With the price of teak now up there with ebony, that was quite a find... I'm
not sure if I'm happy to have seen the stuff or not! I hope the guy loading
them wasn't planning on using the stuff for firewood. I gave him a hand
loading it anyway... seemed like a nice guy.
