is there any value in 80 yr old doug fir
I saved a fair amount of structural douglas fir during an extensive remodel of a house build in the 30s. The wood is mostly rough sawn.
It's mostly 2x4 (really 2" x 4") and 1"x6" subfloor, a few 2x6, but a few larger pieces - a couple 4"x6"x7', and 6"x10"x3' and one much bigger piece I haven't completely unburied from 2x4 yet.
I plan on using some of the wood for projects around the house, but it's probably more than I can use. It is much harder than todays wood - the contractors bent many nails trying to use them as props
Is old douglas fir worth anything?
What do people use it for.

If it has a tight, straight, grain, you may be sitting on some money.

It's wonderful for furniture---and useful as a trim board---

I just measured the big wood.
one is 5" x 7' x 15'10"
one is 5" x 9" x 44"
two are 4" x 6" x 68"
Any estimate on how much these are worth?
The neighbor wants them for free. Just wondering if there is a market for this stuff
Put it on Craigs List! I'd bet someone will bite.
Boat Builders sometimes look for good DougFir..
I second CL... unless you neighbor has something of value to trade.

I cut it 3 times..... and it's still too short.
Dont go ninja'ing anybody that dont need no ninja'ing...
