Default The Barn / Shop

While I was cleaning out the barn of the property we recently bought I found these.

16 pieces of 8"x10"x 16' old pine timbers>



I'm not sure what the heck I'm going to do with these, but they sure are nice and heavy! I have had a few friends look at them and one said I should get a band saw and cut them in 1" slabs. I thought about another barn or lean-to, but I really don't know.

Any suggestions of what to do with these and put them to the best of use?

Nice find! I'm sure, you'll find a use for them.

Those are impressive! They would make great support beams for the barn expansion.

do your homework on them, if they are old barn timbers , you'll find they are worth some jack.

would also be nice for the start of a 40x80 house for the cubs.

What He Said ^^

Old Wood can be worth a lot if it has the right tight grains and straight. DO some homework, although pine isn't the most desirable because it is a soft wood, they still may be worth some $. Also I wouldn't cut them into slabs, their use is better when they are whole. Plus... There is no way you could really cut something that large on a bandsaw...

Are they hand hewn or saw mill cut? If hand hewn they are worth some $$ . If they are old growth they are still desirable, people use them as a beam or saw them into tongue and groove flooring. I'd do a little homework on them before using them. You may get enough out of them to triple the wood you have there.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
