My house dates to 1806.The barn has hemlock timbers.The boards are a mix.The boards show marks from an up and down saw mill.Roman numerals are scribed into the boards to denote board feet in each board.The book Fields of Home by Ralph Moody has a good description of cutting the lumber for a barn.Find a copy of this book for the best reading about life on the farm around 1900.It has been in reprint.I sold many copies of Ralph Moodys books before the computer killed the book business.The original copies had nice color end plates showing life on the farm.
