I have recently felled about 70 or so drought killed white pines. They had mostly died about four years ago. They were ugly as hell and rotten looking on the outside, but the heartwood is still looking beautiful on the inside. I am poor and hate to not recycle these into something of use. Sure they could used for firewood if dried thoroughly or left to the earth to compost but after seeing what nice heartwood that had been stored inside, I would like to use them my frame somehow. It seems that most people were convincing me not use dead standing white pine for timbers in a frame, but what about having it milled and at least use it for (all heartwood)siding for a tf barn I am building?? If anyone has any insight into this it would be great. I have someone right down the road with a nice portable mill that could bring it up to my site. tb
