Too good to burn,old beams.

[Woodlover]

I was just about to cut these old beams up for firewood ,but they are too good to burn and some one must have a use for them other than firewood.They are 8 by 8 inch wide and in various lengths, 10 x 1m+ and maybe 10x 60cm+ long.

They do burn very well ,hot and surprisingly slow for pine but I would be happy to swap for normal fire wood with someone who can use them .

Any-one want to drop off ready to burn logs in Nelson Lancs for these ?

I will get them all out of my crowded log shelter tomorrow morning and take some more pics ,and get the exact measurement's .Some are Ash I think, will take close up end grain pics as well so you can hopefully tell the species.

Here is a pic of it all with measurement's.

The ones marked X have bolt holes, rest are clean.

[se7enthdevil]

Sorry but now I can only see one 8/8 that's different to the rest on closer inspection ,all the smaller pieces and one 8/8 at 720mm looks like Ash to me.

I collected them from an old factory the day they came out and stored the larger ones in my log shelter for about 9 months, smaller pieces may have been slightly exposed to some weather. Can moisture meter them if you like? give me 5 mins and I will be back.

[Woodlover]

14-18% is what my cheap meter reads on the old end grain.The one Ash was 20% for some reason.
