Hi Bob, I understand completely your "frugality"! Old wood is sometimes the best as it has stood the test of time and all warpage is usually already over with. For example, the school in which I teach did away with their old wooden bleachers in the gym (there was a concern over lawsuits due to splinters). The construction crews were just throwing away THOUSANDS of board-feet of 5/4 lumber that was stable and dry for over 30 years. I managed to salvage only a few boards. I planed them down and ripped them to 4 1/2 width and cross cut to 8 foot lengths, and they are awaiting future use.
Remind me to tell you about a spray booth I salvaged (thanks to OSHA regulations).
