Old growth/Antique Pine Body's for sale

Ok, I have some antique pine body's looking for a good home. So I have made the move to Vendor status in order to offer these for sale. I am no longer building and recently picked up a batch from Jason Hilbourne that I commissioned. At the time I was not interested in selling but again I am no longer building and it would be a shame for these to lay in a pile collecting dust.

I purchased a couple of old Heart Pine beams from a dealer in Westbrook back in 2009. Jason used Ron Kirn's templates to rout these.

DISCLAIMER: I would recommend that if you are interested you understand clearly these are from antique pine dated sometime in the 1800's. It is not perfect and in some cases there are old nail holes and knots. I have seen guys like Ron Kirn and Jason Hilbourn take what most people would think is in pretty bad shape and turn it into a work of art.

Some of these are in pretty much A+ shape while others are more of a C grade. But each one has the potential to be an amazing build. They each average 5 lbs and since I do not have a very accurate scale thats the best I can do on weight. The good thing is they are not Southern Yellow which is consistently on the heavy side.

All of the pictures are in LARGE JPG format so please look at them carefully by clicking the image. It should open in another window and you will be able to view the body in great detail.

The grain in most of these is truly spectacular! Tight rings and all the signs of very old growth indeed. There are a lot of pluses so please forgive me if I talk about the negatives a lot as well. I want to be sure that anyone who desires to buy one understands some of these will need some TLC and Expertise.

Pay Pal accepted as payment.
