Im trying to get an appt to go thursday to go look at 500 bf of reclaimed wood.
Old barns it was stated.
Oak, cherry, walnut and one or two other species.
Its not expensive, hoping to score it between 1.50-1.75 a bf, but what are the big pitfalls with this stuff?(besides being old, and if I see ovbious rot or cracks to make it unuseable)
Is it bought for decorating only? Can I build something solid from it?
Im a bit uncertain because Id regret if I bring it back and its infested with something Id infect a bunch of other lumber Im storing.
Anything very obvious I should look for?
