So I am getting ready to pull up some of my attic floor to put down some insulation and am thinking of keeping a few of the boards up to make a blanket chest with.
Old growth pine about 200 years old been nailed down a long time, average board is 14-16 inches wide and 10-14 feet long. They were nailed down with square cut nails, if I use this wood I will leave the holes as a link to the heritage of this wood. Should I just block the back and fill the holes with clear epoxy? How would you clean the boards before planing them?
Thanks for any suggestions
Dave
