Good Evening Friends,

I have come into some recycled timbers from barns and there are some pretty good ones in the bunch.

 

Does anyone know what this type of material is going for? Most is hand hewn Oak.

    Google recycled lumber near Columbus, Ohio and sift through the posts to get an idea.

    Ralph, I've seen them priced all over from reasonable to unrealistic in central IN area....depends on size and length. As Dan said, Google them and do CL search for your area under Materials, General & Farm+Garden categories...it's a timing thing if you get hits or not. Get the metal detector out if you're planning to rip & plane.
