Guy had some "reclaimed" oak listed on Craigslist for $150 with some horrible pix.
Turned out there were 15 2" x 10", mostly 10' long.
He knocked the price down to $100
Even if I lose 10-15% it's still a pretty good price on some nice lumber.
(Pix are lost in the email system. If they show up I'll post them

Part of my house had 2x10 white oak floor joists, they were so hard, couldn't drive a nail in them.....they made good firewood.
