My dad was a house builder in the 50s everything was built out of hardwood and only using hand tools, these days everything is built out of softwood and power tools the price of hardwood is double the price of pine/softwood but all timber is expensive my mates can't  understand why I collect and store old hardwood when I see it laying around, a lot of old houses getting torn down and new houses built, the old hardwood being dump in skips but some builder do recycle it as they do know how much its worth.

I have a lot of 4x2s in my wood collection and always find a use for it as well other larger sizes but hard getting those old nails out lol.
