who buys old wood ?, beams, flooring, ect...?

Question

i have alot of old oak, and i'm told that there is people that buy that kind of thing.

Answer 1

Indeed there are...I would run an add in your local newspaper or use the internet to advertise...Oak is a true-tested lumber with many purposes. Depending upon how the lumber was cut and used and the condition it is in currently, you'll have no trouble selling - even if the final destination is a wood-burning firplace/stove in the home.

p.s. I obtained some cherry and black walnut recently from a newspaper advertisement. Many peole on the look out for opportunities to obtain lumber for wood working projects.

Good luck

Answer 2

I sell alot of beams, heart pine, and oak to high end contractors, say on Hilton Head, S.C./ Savannah/or any coastal community. There are specialty wood retailers in Atlanta, Statesboro and probably near you. Google 'specialty wood' or 're-cycled lumber'. Good luck

Answer 3

Yes, there is. I knew a man who bought a 200 year old cabin and tore it down log by log and used the logs in a new home.
Check with remodeling contractors who restore old buildings make to their original age.

Answer 4

Put an add in the paper, that's a guarantee to a sale.

Answer 5

Any salvage yard will be glad to buy it in, esp if its good quality stuff.

Answer 6

You can advertise or just contact your local salvage yards and see what they will pay you for all of it.
