Hot take: That 'reclaimed' barn wood from the auction last month is more trouble than it's worth.

Spent a whole week pulling nails and metal fragments out of every board, and my planer knives are shot. Anyone have a good supplier for clean, dry stock around the Midwest?

You're telling me, I found a horseshoe in mine. I get what lindahunt is saying about character, but sometimes you just need wood that's ready to go. My local yard gets clean white oak from a mill upstate.

That character is worth the extra work, isn't it?
