Title: old pine
Post by: slider on July 26, 2013, 07:36:12 AM
Just a little quartered sawed pine beams from an old church.I stayed with the band after hitting a few nails so the surface is a bit rough but it's going through the planer so we chose not to trash another band.Someone is going to have a fine set of cabinets .Some of this wood had much tighter grain but the pitch was not as prominent as these.

Dig out the nails before planing

It is very obvious why the $$$ are in those reclaimed beams.   ;D

Wait till you get that big planer going, then some chips will fly, for sure.

Are those boards wet, or is that just pitch in em'?  Talk about starting a campfire!   Some really awesome, straigh-grained wood that I've rarely seen in my lifetime. 

It always does me good to see some old lumber that is better, stronger, and clearer than the most high-dollar stuff you can buy at the lumber yard these days.  That's definately "D" grade pine in my books.

That is some good looking stuff. I would be careful around there with any cigar. ;D
