My grandpa worked at a saw mill and as a carpenter back in the early to middle part of the 1900s. He worked in the NC, TN, & KY mountains. He built his huge barn out of rough lumber that he got from the saw mill. Since I started woodworking, I have wished I had some of that old lumber to make some chests out of. The family sold the farm after my grandma died (she lived to be over 100 years). I emailed the gentleman who bought the house and he said he had stacked some lumber in the smokehouse and that I could have some of it. I am really excited about the prospects. He said it is mostly 5/4 rough lumber. I remember there are some very wide boards in the barn. I don't have many pictures of it but I will post a couple below. I wonder what kind of wood it is? How will it look after it is smoothed? I am going to get some this weekend, I will post more pics then. I can't wait! It would be so cool to have a chest or something made out of lumber my grandpa sawed and used to make his barn with!
