Guitar players will die for good wood, almost.
Funny you mention that. I know a luthier, and he cursed me up and down for not passing along the lead on the rock maple.

Added bonus is that they can be shipped easily. It would seem sensible to ebay a lot of the smaller stuff, and hook them into an online store that lists larger items.

I've also heard that hardwood floors are surprisingly easy to pull up with only ~10% waste. That's something that could be stored easily too, on pallets.
