About a year ago at a local auction I bought four large chestnut boards that had been salvaged from a barn that burned. They are all aout ten feet long, ten inches wide and about 7/4 thick. Today I cut off an end of one that had a split and planed it just to see what was underneath the surface. That piqued my interest in this lumber and I'm now interested in resawing it and using it up on a project in the near future. Does anyone have any suggestions for what type of project might be a good fit for this special wood (which by the way is loaded with small worm holes)? Also, does anyone have any experience working with this no-longer-existent species? Any input/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
