Old cabinet question
 

What would be a good way to go about saving the wood from old old cabinets that have 3-4 layers of paint in them.

Surface Planner?
Stripper?
Burn em?

saving for what purpose?

have not decided yet as i am not sure what kind of wood it is.

STRIP a corner
if it's just pine ...not worth it
oak yes
any other hardwood generally yes
otherwise cabinet doors are free on craig's list

Unless there's something special about the cabinets...vintage doors etc...I can't imagine what you'd get from the work to strip the wood. Also how old? If pre-1980's...

Oh god yes, these are early 1930's maybe 1940 glass doors.

Then my guess is true divided hardwood,,, could be a market for them,,, try Craig list?

They have not taken them out yet, i may take em down before they get here and squirrel them away lol.

Take them to a salvage renovation store as is. Get a store credit for something you can use.
