Woodworkers all over the world use various types of hard and softwoods, and we recently got an excellent question about some small woodworking scraps...

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood,

 

I am a hobbiest furniture builder in central PA, and have a large pile of kiln-dried oak and cherry cutoffs and scrap that I'd like to get rid of. These are clean, dry, bark free pieces ranging from shaving size to a few inches/side, and they have been stored indoors since coming out of the hardwood supplier's kiln.

We got a particularly angry and frustrated entry in the Don't Move Firewood mailbox last week, which has been paraphrased below for clarity.

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood

 

I note the sign -- and also note that in my twice a week trips to and from Salem, NH -- that there is at least ONE sometimes TWO or more vehicles ... driving in front of me across the NH/ME bridge, and never even a slow down -- ignoring the sign.
