i'm almost positive they are maple, and some are full length, some will need some trimming because of rot and what-have-you.
the full length ones have both ends dove-tailed and are in decent shape.
thanks
*hi,i'm near Montreal Quebec in good ol' Canada eh!
*Hey Mike,Do you know my old buddy, Bob Campeau from Ottawa, now living in Austria?Gabe
*Hey Gabe,nope, we have a very limited range as far as family tree goes;i don't know any Campeaus in Ottawa.
*Mike, your name seems familiar for some reason. Do you know someone named Mickey Tremblay ?
*Mike; you could try looking at the Lumber Exchange at http://www.woodweb.com. There is a lot of lumber there, but logs and beams too.

I am trying to sell 20-25 beams from an old farm house (circa 1850-1900),
they range from 10 to 20 feet long, basically all 10x10 or 10x12; i need objective pricing from anybody out there...i don't want to make a killing on this but i don't want to get short-changed either.
thanks

*Mike what are they made of? Around here (SE Pa.) there is a decent market for chestnut beams. A lot of folks are doing resto, work on older farm houses, ans need to replace exposed beams. If this is the case, I can look into pricing for you.Where they in a stone house? If so, are the ends still in decent shape? Problem here is the condensation on the cold stone rots the ends after a hundred years or so.
