I would get a hold of someone in church planning and find out if a new startup church might need them. Are they straight or curved? Padded seat? Surely there is a church in your area setting on plastic chairs.tugcapt said:My church just bought another building and wants to get rid if the existing pews. They are made of oak and range in length from 8 to 15 feet. Not sure how many bf are.
How can I tap into a possible buyer? Any idea of $ per bf?
For praying I hope.woodnthings said:They make great hall benches when shortened to around 4 or 5 ft. These are being restored:
I see them from time to time here and they're always free. Like you, I've waited to call for them, and when I did, they were gone. I can see many uses for the wood.:thumbsup:I'd try a craigslist ad. Many years ago, I saw an ad for pews being sold off by a church that was closing. We had a spot in our home at the time that would have held one nicely. I looked, hesitated, and they were gone in about 2 days. They were being offered in whatever quantity a buyer wanted; I have no idea if they went one at a time, or all to one buyer.
@tugcapt - where are you located? How many pews/board feet?My church just bought another building and wants to get rid if the existing pews. They are made of oak and range in length from 8 to 15 feet. Not sure how many bf are.
