Recycled Redwood From Signs

Years ago they used virgin clear heart redwood to make sandblasted signs. Nowadays they use cedar and other materials.

 I have been scoring these old signs over the years and I planed one down this morning. beatiful vertical grain redwood.

I find the old signs at auctions and salvage yards. The big one leaning against the tree is 12 feet long and around 30" wide.

Great stuff for stringers,fins,tailblocks and skateboards.



Looks like a nice score!  I have found nice old redwood in house siding and rafters (old houses, pre WWII)… just gotta watch for nails.  The siding is often long lengths of 1"x12" or 1"x10".

RIGHT ON MR. CLEAN !

I have some old teak from a deck of a boat…zebra wood from a dear departed friend …balsa from keith and velzy…++++

now …i just have to remember where i put it all ?

lol…good score !

old redwood is hard to come by!
