I have a friend* who got into the reclaimed/recycled wood business early on. Very successful worldwide, Vintage Lumber. They produce laminated flooring. They used to send container loads of their wood to Kansas where they made the flooring, then sent it back. Then they ship to where ever their orders might come from, such as Kansas
. But now he sends it to China and back!
* Ok, he's my friend's brother. Known him for years. Not really a friend
