Well joining this site was not as simple as I thought most likely due to a browser font issue. Anyways I am relatively new to Raleigh NC moved to CH end of 2010 and moved to Raleigh when I bought a home there January of this year. I am fairly good at wood working not a novice that is for sure however not advanced either. Wood working is a primary hobby of mine to relieve stress. I used to work for start up companies and built their technologies from the ground up. The last company I was with I had 1/3rd ownership and Groupon bought the company so I took my part time technology company and made it a full time gig which has been a fun yet stressful venture which thankfully is succeeding. Anyways I have been looking for some free barn wood so I can build me a nice desk. In my searches this site kept popping up and I thought it to be a great resource so I decided to join. I have not found any free barnwood yet however I am keeping my eyes open. I look forward to learning from your vast experience or in-experience, and hope that I might be able to contribute back to the site with knowledge I have gained over the years.
