How to Get Cheap or Free Hardwood Lumber

Instructables - DIY, How To, craft: "Here's how to buy new lumber in bundles for less than firewood. This seems to work best for hardwoods, cabinetmaker type stuff. Construction grade lumber, seems there's no bottom end to that market, and no way to insult the customer with a product too inferior. Fine hardwoods seem to be another matter. There's some with problems the vendors can't stand to sell or discard."

i found this one a week or so ago, and its very true. if you talk to the right people at lumber yards or even some hardware/home improvement places, you can walk away with a lot of free, but lesser quality, stuff

for a lot of smaller projects, this free lumber is great, you just need to make sure that the wood is properly sealed before bringing it into your house.
