Late this summer we visited a retired carpenter who had a shed full of boards he milled 30+ years ago from the woods behind the armory in Wis Rapids, WI. After clearing out a huge bees nest (full disclosure, Deb sat in the truck), we made five trips (two pickups each load) for an entire day, bringing the wood back to our warehouse. So much potential...so we created shelving in 3' and 4' lengths.
We can make these to size. Our local metalworker also creates custom brackets, available in our showroom. Need a spot to place your Elf on a Shelf?
