Anyone have any experience ordering slabs or wood?
Keep your eyes open for newspaper or online notices of Yard Sales &amp; Estate Sales, these will also include Landlords, Stores, Hotels &amp; Casinos looking to get their buildings cleaned out by the public wanting to remove anything.

Constantly check Craigslist types of websites, your phonebook &amp; internet for Auction, Salvage &amp; Reclamation companies &amp; yards. They usually get the best stuff because they're on the call list of Demolition companies.

Finally, check Salvation Army, Goodwill, Green Drop &amp; Habitat For Humanity. And, consider dismantling a large old Bedroom Dresser or Armoire or an old Diningroom Table or maybe a China Cabinet &amp; an old Livingroom Coffee Table.
