One bite at a time! Some friends tore apart a piano and asked us if we wanted the wood. We are big recyclers so we jumped at the opportunity. These are the photos of the process t0 salvage the wood. Most of the piano was in pieces designated for the burn pile when we rescued it. There is a lot of thick lumber but it is all in small pieces. We are hoping to use it to make small projects with. All of the wood is over 100 years old. We are not sure what kind of wood it is yet but we will attempt to identify it as we clean it up. There is some paint to be removed from some of the pieces.
