These used to be floor boards in an attic crawl space of an 1870's farm house (my sister's). I think it's some really great stuff - nice wide boards, some with live edges (possibly sawn on site from the same tree?), and great patina. I plan to use them mostly as-is, but I'm curious to know what species they might be. I'm also curious about the saw marks on the boards, and whether they reveal hints as to how they might have been sawn. I jointed an edge on one of the boards (I don't want to surface plane them) just to see if I could figure out what it was myself, but I'm not sure. I have a guess, but I don't want that to color any of your opinions, so I won't reveal it just yet.
Thanks in advance!
