Old Pine

Is there a market here or around here for old pine? You know the really old slow growth stuff.
I might be able to get man hands on some, and was wondering if there was an interest in it.
I personally don't have an interest in it, but if there is enough interest I could get it.

I have quite a bit of it in the form of former bleacher benches I am recycling and I personally think it is underrated. Judging from the prices I have seen posted by suppliers it is priced pretty high when it is even stocked.

Re: Old Pine

There is Pine then there is PINE. There is over dozen species of pine grown in the US. In MHO there are only two to be used in furniture building. There is Northern White Pine and Southern Long Leaf Pine. If the Lumber you have access is one of these I would think someone could use it.
