Here's some more photos of mine from hospital - they're from the second floor of abandoned grounds maintenance building, which at one time was used for stables - stablehands lived upstairs. Thinking about cutting up the doors, and reprocessing them. Since they're local softwoods, they wouldn't be used for surfaces that would be subject to a lot of wear. Still looking for more hardwood stuff on the grounds.
