Planing and Sanding are a couple of the final stages along the way in reworking recycled wood for reuse. Of course, this doesn't count the hours and hours or locating the wood, sorting it, storing it, and searching for the perfect piece for the specific task at hand. The front door alone, for example, needed to have several pieces pulled before the right ones were decided on.
However, before anything can happen, the wood needs to have the nails pulled and then it needs to be cleaned with a steel brush. After those first two steps it can be cut with a chop saw, table saw or skill saw. One other step we add, but didn't photograph, is running a metal detector along the wood to see if there are hidden nails.
