Keep an eye out for post beetles. Them son of a guns can and do spread over time. I'd treat that wood. Enclose it where its pretty air tight, get something from an exterminator like pyrethrum or something like that. Years back I learned my lesson bringing post beetles into a garage, and over time they went for the 2x4 studs, and tore them up. I had an exterminator come in and deal with them, but I had to replace some studs. After that, if there's any major amount of wood coming in, it gets enclosed with a stiff dose of industrial stuff for a few days.
Don't get me wrong, barn wood, rafters and such is nice, very nice when finished, but take an ounch of prevention first so that you can enjoy it for a long, long time without termites or such enjoying it for a short expensive time. Go visit the exterminator guy, ask his thoughts on prevention.
