MILLING A 50 YEAR OLD BEAM! Does it look BETTER or WORSE?

[@bluenewfie]

Looks like a boom stick from when they were floating pulp wood. Lots of them over here on the west coast. I’d say it’s Douglas fir. great video!

[@famasmaster2000]

Awesome to see old wood like that. I had a bunch of big beams from an old house I helped demo from years ago . Planed them all down and used on different projects. So much fun and so useful

Very cool!

I like it milled, but the grey looked good too

Thanks for watching!

I would say western red cedar. Looks like a squared off telephone pole. Been milling a bunch of them. If it smells like you sharpened a pencil, that’s what it is. Great video.

Looks nice!

[@claudalley6495]

Has that wood been treated?

[@theislander1993]

Yes it was treated with something I believe, thanks for watching!

If you plan on using it for a mantle then much more appealing milled.
