I like the concept of recycled wood and use it as often as I can in my work. I might look at the design in a different way. It is a design that works equally well in either display. Any time a design has that kind of flexibility it increases its value in my mind. I also liked the mirror in the picture, Is that your work as well? Great Job!

Don't tell her I said that though. lol All your pieces are beautiful. Your efforts with recycling have really paid off. Vic I like your original plan with a book case on each side.

I would do the same thing with my wife and we have only been married for 2 years. Got'a love'em. Quite amazing work, and quite interesting story behind the material.

This is the second story in as many days (different sites) where people are getting fantastic old wood from driving the backroads and looking for old buildings. Fantastic idea.

I like the way the small drawers on the cabinet are made from the same piece of wood and maintain grain flow. Well done with standing your ground and sending the message to your wife about the design element of the piece...I know how you feel, intended design doesn't equal final display. Your work is commendable. Nice work. I like the way the small drawers on the cabinet are made from the same piece of wood and maintain grain flow.

Especially like the bed. I love the look of pine with just a simple finish. Excellent work! Especially like the bed. I love the look of pine with just a simple finish.

I like the mission style bed. Like Ray, I also have a question. Is this the same wood as "long leaf yellow pine"? I know that Norm Abram has made some things on his show from reclaimed long leaf yellow pine, and it had that same wonderful grain pattern as yours does. Wonderful furniture!

The best part about using an older "recycled" piece of wood is that you get something that you can't find at the home centers or even your local lumberyard: stable, tight-ring wood. I love this stuff! It has a look and feel like nothing grown recently does. A friend of mine has a business reclaiming old lumber (vintagelumbersales.com) just like you did with these pieces. It's fantastic to see projects like yours made from material that might just as easily get burned up in a trash pile. Keep up the good work! I think recycling or reclaiming wood is very cool.
