Reclaimed old-growth Barn lumber, 6-20' long, 5/8-1"thk, various sizes.
Reclaimed wood, from an granary in Southwest Iowa, circa 1910s. Old growth wood, nearly 100 years old. The boards range in the following sizes: 1"x12", 2"x12", 3"x12", 2"x8", 1"x6". Length varies from 6 ft to 20 ft. Most are around 12 ft. All boards are between 5/8 to 1" thick, (true measurements, not modern lumber measurements). Exact measurements and board types can be sent via email. The wood is old growth wood, from virgin forests. The wood is extremely dense, so dense that termites are unable to burrow in it. The dense wood also inhibits wear, moisture, and rot. Wood pieces and lumber may have nails and missing pieces. We currently have 1500 boards. We have these on an ongoing basis. Each piece sells for $5 per linear foot. Owning this lumber is owning a piece of history. This is old growth lumber, which is superior in strength, density, durability, and beauty to any lumber you will find in a lumber store. Being stored in a granary, shielded by an outer layer of tin, and kept dry and preserved by the grain in the granary, the condition of this wood is immaculate. We can do delivery, on a per cost basis. Please contact us for a shipping quote, based on your location and quantity ordered. History: These are granary barns. They were originally owned and built by a private family farm. The barns are located in Iowa. The granaries were built in the 1910s. There are two granaries are identical in dimensions and style. They are 40 feet long by 20 feet wide, and 22.5 feet high. The building's shape is a traditional pentagon-cylinder shape. The barns were used as corn granaries. In the 1980s, the barns had an outer layer of corrugated tin added. The farm was sold onto another farmer in the 1990s, who is the current owner to this day. These barns have not been touched or used since they were sold. As the barns were made of old-growth timber, the wood has held up remarkably well. Being used to store dry grain also ensured very little excess moisture, preventing wood rot. The barns stand to this day, solidly built, but no longer used as they were made obsolete by modern auger equipment. Quantity: 12000
