Barn Siding?

trying to find some uses for this stuff

One is at least 8’ long. T&G edges, Double 4 Dutch pattern. Seems to be either a Pine, or a Fir

Do I rip off the beveled areas, and go for the 3/4” thick parts? Maybe get some 1×3” out of that?

Or, plane until it all is the same level? Might be 1/2” thick stock 8”+ wide? A few nail holes, some with the nails still in them. Might clean up nicely?

-- A Planer? I'M the planer, this is what I use
