I have available about 1000 bd. ft.of 4/4x12x14 old pine that was used for interior walls in an old structure. I need advice on using it. I have lightly planned a couple of pieces and it is beautiful — about 50% — heart — some worm holes in the sap wood — the sap wood is not doted. There is a small amout of cup in some of the boards — maybe 1/8″.
I would like to use it for flooring in a new house and / or furniture building.
I need wise counsel on the problems and the opportunities I might encounter with the above uses. How to deal with the cup, how to attach to the floor and then sand, do I plane it first, other???
