OK...this was pretty cool for me. I am relatively new to this whole woodworking thing, but I am already in love with it.
But today I came upon some old wood that was being thrown away from an old church that was sold. The wood was actually from the pipes of an OLD pipe organ. I did a little research and discovered that the organ had been constructed in 1892.
I have already planed down a board. This stuff is NICE. Only problem is...I have no idea what it is.
It looks a lot like pine to me (which would be ok, but I rather doubt it as pine was rarely used to make organ pipes), but it is very light colored.
Anyway...whatever it is...it just seems WAY cool to me that I can actually make furniture out of 100+ year old wood.
And it was free.
