Hi Ken,
I am busy redoing my kitchen with recovered wood. Some of the wood was put on my house in around 1950's. This wood was from the fascia board, but when I renovated i took it off neatly to make sure i could use it again. It turns out to be yellow wood which is making a very nice kitchen counters.
Besides that the kids cars "my daughters" always has something to repair, replace and this is where the lathes and mills cone in

regards
Kevin
