Hey guys ive been checking this forum out alot because I would like to one day own my own gentlemans farm and be pretty self sufficient in matters of the farm. My question for you all involves some hardwood tounge and groove paneling i was given about a year ago. Theres some finished knotty pine maybe 3/4" and some finished wide wormy chestnut about 1/2" thick. my question is would it be worth my time to try and sell this stuff or should i just wait till i have a use for it? My parents would love for me to make kitchen cupboards out of the wormy chestnut but the truth of the matter is if i make them for my parents then when i get my own house i wont have it to use that and i dont have the tools to make kitchen cabinets that i would want assosicated with me. i have no good way to store this wood and would liek to know what should be done with it? i was tempted to use the knotty pine to build a rabbit pen but my dad wouldnt let me. any suggestions also if i would sell it how would i figure out the board feet?

thanks in advance

The formula for board footage should you need it is: (T x W x L) / 144 and if T < 1", then T = 1"

 what about the tounge and grove in reply to Ryan - WI, 03-26-2005 06:04:38  
These are tounge and grove so do i measure the entire width like from the tounge over or just from like the back side of the tounge over? And anything less than 1" in thickness is ounted at 1" in that formula? thanks for your help im just trying to get a grasp on things if i need to sell them id like to know how to list it. thanks again

I think that the advice that you received from your Parents is good and sound.

I would store the lumber in a dry location. Maybe your parents would allow you to store the lumber in the attic of their house. HTH. John,PA

My parents arent gettin me to build them cupboards first off and second we dont have an attic. right now all that lumber is piled down in the shed out back and im not thrilled about that because of the amount of moisture it gets in there. Is there a market for selling this lumber or not?? If its still around when i move out in 2 years im taking it with me if not then i guess the money i get from selling it will help to put me through tech school. either way im gonna bennifit

I notice that lumber brings a lot of $$ at public auctions. Trick: Always put the very best boards on top of the pile.

Having the lumber stacked and "ticked" will not generally hurt anything. Put a piece of tin over the top of the stack. We always let wood climatize in our shop for about 30 days, anyhow, before we start machining it.

If you have enough to put you thru "tech" school, you will not need a STUDENT LOAN. Perhaps the person who gave you the lumber though a lot of ya.

So, pick a path and stick to it.

Respectfully, John,PA

Ticking (spelling?) is the term given when stacking lumber with those little strips of wood (ticking) that separate the boards in each layer. This process allows air to circulate between each layer of boards. Keeps the boards dry. So you put down a layer of boards, place strips of wood every 4 ft. or so, crossways over the layer, and then place another layer of boards on top., and so on.

I am not interested in the purchase of your lumber. Try e-bay. I hear a lot of people get great results, there. HTH John,PA
