I have some full dimension pine lumber that is about 60 years old now and was wondering if anyone can help me with what it might be worth. I would say without a doubt that it would be #1 pine, very few knots. Any help or comments? |

not sure what “full dimension” means not sure how much you have, little tiny bits of wood aren’t worth much. albeit older wood has its benefits, age really means little if its warped and twisted, cupped and bowed not sure where you live as market often dictates price sorry, cant help you pictures, quantities and dimensions help -- "Good artists borrow, great artists steal”…..Picasso |

I have three pieces of lumber measuring 7.5” by 2”. Never been through a planer. Longest board is 18’ and shortest board is about 16’. These boards were harvested in the Black Hills of South Dakota in either 49 or 50, sawn at a saw mill here and remain here. If you are unfamiliar with SD weather, it is dry. Not quite as bad as Arizona but close. Boards are the streightest boards of this length you will ever find. The reason I am thinking of getting rid of them is I have no way to resaw them and it would be a real shame to run them through a plainer to get them down to an inch. Hope this description helps. |

can you not re-saw them on your table saw ? or a friends ?…..simply cut half way through the edge, flip and repeat then finish off whats left with a reciprocating saw or hand saw ? -- "Good artists borrow, great artists steal”…..Picasso |

Sounds like approximately 42.5 bf. The value, and just a guess depending on quality/type of pine, is $1 to $2 a bf. Could be a little less, or maybe a little higher if really nice tight grain. |

Unfortunately, not worth much. Most likely lodgepole pine. Very common construction lumber. The full thickness just means that it was never planed, so it does not add to the value much. It would still make a nice project, though. -- Wood-Mizer LT15 |
