In my town, there;s a new business, the Wood Bank http://thewoodbank.com
I went in there the other day.
Quite expensive, and their spalted Maple was not very spalted.
Also, many units of Amazonian hard-woods did not sit well with me.
But there was much salvage old-growth Fir, in very large bolts.
This concept may be a winner, if it can be implemented (and subsidized) to reclaim the far better qualities of wood squandered with abandon in days of yore….
