I got great oak from pallets left behind from a landscaping stones delivered at my house. The boards were thicker than you normally see, close to 1 1/2 inches. The lengths between nail holes was no more than about two feet so I used it for a lot small crafts mostly. I am considering doing the same thing to mill my own flooring, where the nail holes would add to a rustic look, in which I could use the whole length of about four feet.

I also had great success in the dumpster behind a large mill work company in Connecticut. They allowed me to dumpster dive and you can be really surprised what you can find. Great sizes for any turned bowl, etc, plus table leg stock.
