My father used to do some of this wood reclaiming back in the 70s, and he still has some old walnut boards that he hasn't built anything with, but can't bear to part with! Re-using wood is just common sense, and it's great to see someone actually making a living doing it. Check out a similar concept from Northern Virginia, called "neighbor wood" - a play on "neighborhood" - it's based around the idea of harvesting lumber from suburban trees: www.neighborwood.net http://members.verizon.net/~vzentcoe/neighbor-wood/ I don't know the Neighbor Wood folks, but found their site through a friend of a friend. Sounds like they should connect with Michael Black! Thanks for posting this inspirational story.
