Great wood score

[Crash2510]

My dad owns his own electrical business which I help him with often. The other day we were pulling large entrance wire on a wood spool. When we were finished with the empty spools I noticed the spools center was made of nice wood slats of what I thought was poplar. Came home and planed them down and it turns out I came home with around 50 4" x 24" solid oak boards that were about a half inch thick. The good news is I can get as many of these spools as I want, so I guess this is a gloat, but if you guys could find a local electrical wholesale house they usally cant wait to give the huge spools away.

Cool!!
I don't know if the spool sources wood (hehe) be the same up here, but regardless, it's free and it's recycling.
What a great score idea. Going to check it out.

What kind of wire was it? I'm in the electrical business and all our spools are made of pine. Nice, knot free pine, but it's still pine.

It was service entrance ser cable on 1000 ft spools.
