Lets talk Lumber

As with anything in life, if you don't know, you'd better ask.

Problem is, I don't know anyone on a personal level to ask. So I once again turn to ya'll. Always seem to get some type of answer anyway.

Lets just say by happen chance you have access to some old lumber. Old cypress boards, cypress logs, heart pine. Other old woods.

Besides sticking it in a barn somewhere, what can a man do with it?

Sadly I ain't no carpenter. Figured that out while remodeling my house this winter. I'd love to use some of the stuff, but a lot of it won't fit mine and the fiancé's "Décor". So now I got to do something with it.

What would be your plan? Would you try to sell it to small "saw mill"? Store it? Burn it? Cut up the logs? What say you.

Picture frames , if enough logs you can take to a Mill and get cut into tongue and groove boards for flooring or ceiling to do porches or a man cave wall

we are starting to build three cabins and are looking for things like that as I type. Let me know what you have if you are interested in selling any.

Need rusted tin too if you have access to any

if you wanted to keep and you have a pond, you can drag the logs into the pond. as long as they stay in the water they won't rot. guy has a little saw mill not far from me. that's what he does with logs until he can get it dried and made into something that he wants.
