I'll never look at a gray colored old beam laying in the junk pile the same way again, thanks Woodman.

This one cost me but was heavily-discounted. Nails-galore on three sides of most of it. I got into the core, though, and saved decent B.F. which went into a camp stall shower frame.

And the cut-offs of that frame are still getting used. In smaller and smaller projects.
