The most amazing loads of lumber end up on the dbBrad truck. Here a full load of cedar and 400 pounds of steel are transported. There is wood here for two projects, Kieth and Lindsay's stairs and Cheryl's fence.
Steel - Skagit River Steel and Recycling
Wood - Pete at Two Dog Timberworks
As recent as the 80's I can remember watching and smelling large cedar timbers left over from jobs being chainsawed for firewood (rather than returning them). It was beautiful wood but too cheap and there was lots of it. So much infact that nobody bothered to conserve the resource. Not any longer. Finding lumber like this for my projects is only affordable now as a salvaged material. I haven't seen any new cedar of substantial size that was worth cutting a tree for in over a decade.
