I go there and pick up there first, second and third cuts for free. I then go home and make different wooden projects out of the wood material, I then give to family members or friends for presents. One day I'll sell what I make, still in the learning process.

I wanted butcher block for my laundry room. I did not want to buy it from Home Depot or other suppliers that offer wood products of questionable quality. Found Goby via Google search and did a site visit hoping that they would have what I was after. Wound up picking out a beautiful slab of 96" long solid white oak butcher block at a competitive price. They held it for me free of charge for a week while I arranged transport. Friendly staff.
