Mid-1800s Heart Pine Beam Split & Resawn

Here's something I was not smart enough to leave alone. A 300 lb beam. The charts sat it should weigh less, but it does not. About 6" x 12" x 84", covered with nails. The bottom was hand-tapered to fit a recess.

 

This beam was part of Philadelphia's industrial activity, likely milled 1840-1870.

 

Images will be added as the beam is ripped and split into manageable pieces, and as those pieces in time go from stock to being resawn into planks and such.
