Black Lab in need of a home in Roanoke, VA

While we are primarily an architectural salvage warehouse,

our name is Black Dog Salvage.

So it's only fitting to try to help black dogs

find a home when we can.

And who can resist this one???

This sweet 5 year old lab is in need of a loving family.

Her family is moving into an apartment

that does not allow pets.

If you know of a good home for her,

please email us.

Thank You!

Power Tool Drag Race July 4th - Clinic THIS SUNDAY

SAVE THE DATE!

POWERTOOL DRAG RACE

July 4th

1pm-5pm

Take a power tool, say a circular saw,

and attach rollerblade wheels to it

and you have a power tool drag racer!

Of course it is a little harder to make one

and a lot safer than it sounds.

Competitors race their creations in 12" wide

plywood troughs behind barriers and all that...

but the event is still bizarre, humours and very creative!

Presented by the

Wilson Hughes Gallery

This clinic will include hands on demonstration, history of the sport, and fun!

Custom Table with Aluminum Cradle Base - Customer Photos

We love hearing from our customers and

are always pleased to hear positive feedback.

Thank you!

We just received this from a client who recently purchased a custom dining table made from aluminum cradles. A good lesson that pictures rarely due justice! If you have a chance to come see us in person, please visit our warehouse!

"The table is an enormous hit! I'd previously sent out pictures to friends based on the picture on eBay, so everyone was surprised that the real table is much cooler than the photo suggests.
My sister-in-law (an art professor) and her husband (a retired professor of architecture at UVA) came over to ooh and ahh at the table yesterday, and they said unequivocally that it is the most interesting piece of furniture that we own. It looks astounding on our deck, which is surrounded by a lot of greenery (flowers, shrubs and trees). We bought apple green resin chairs to go with it, and between the glass top and the various shades of green and the aluminum base, the overall visual effect of the table is astounding. We're obviously very happy. Please pass that on to Mike and Robert."

Here are the Ebay pictures:

and the table in its new home:

We hope that it is enjoyed for many years

to come filled with fun al fresco memories!
