in early 2008 , i spent quite a few hours milling re-claimed fir to use in a home for trim work. all of the material came from the old roof framing, as a second level had been added to the home. a mill was set up in the back yard to save transporting material and time. it was an involved process, but the payoff was definately worth it.
if anyone is interested in a similar service, reclaimed materials can be sourced out and pricing put together. if it was possible, i would love to work with fir exclusively as it is nice to work with and looks amazing! especially old growth! this material is close to 100 years old!
i have a dining room table and some patio chair designs in the works made out of old fir- (it'll be a springtime project)
