The advice on selling the boards is a good one. I had an old pole barn that needed to be torn down and i took off all the 1x8x12' rough sawn Oak planks on the sides. I cut off the ends that were damaged to make good looking boards, took out the nails and stacked them well. I planed down a few for myself for projects and even made a few birdhouses with some small pieces. But the rest of them i traded to a local carpenter in exchange for rebuilding my staircase railing. He then sold the wood to a local restaurant that he was renovating and made an awesome bar out of it! Use Craigslist and other local outlets to sell or trade the wood. Maybe someone has some old tractors, cars or scrap metal around that he would trade for? Good luck and let us know what you end up doing!
