spare wood
I am looking for an appreciative woodworker who might have a use for some old wood salvaged from a brass bed whose provenance can be dated to at least 1918. Four pieces were used to support the old spring base and look like pine (pitch pine?) or maybe cedar? The overall measurements are 190 x 80 x 50 mm (two) and 140 x 80 x 50 mm (two). The larger pieces are planed and both have some indentations to take bolt etc. They are located in south Dublin. PM please if any interest, maybe with email or contact details.

Decent sizes there as well. Thanks for your generosity and hopefully someone will take you up on it.
I suspect its pitch pine rather than cedar, but who knows. Either way nice timber for a project.
