I mentioned in another post that I salvaged a trailer load of teak a few years ago. I stored it at the back of my wood (junk) shed and it hasn't seen the light of day until today.
I'm up to wallplate height on my house extension (that's another story) and needed to access the roof timbers I bought 5 years ago so.....1/2 days labour later and there's the teak!

This little lot is is what I've kept as I gave quite a bit away and is only a fraction of the stuff that was skipped by a high school demolishing their science labs. They were throwing it out of 1st floor windows into huge skips and would allow me only one load which I had to take during their teabreak for health 7 safety reasons.
I was devastated at the scale of the waste. :shock:
Most of the timber is 30mm thk and has holes where I removed bunsen burners etc and of course loads of kids grafiti carved into it.. :lol:
haven't thought of any projects yet - suggestions welcomed
