For flooring an extension to my Victorian house I am planning to use

However, an alternative is "resawn floorboards" where the supplier has
sawn up victorian joists to make 'new' old floorboards. ebay item
130325590872 is an example.

Is there anything to aware of with such resawn boards? is the joist
wood likely to be softer for example, or to have more knots in it?

taking old pine crap and reusing it makes it still old pine crap IMHO.

The victorians used pine because they hadn't invented chipboard or MDF.

why not get some decent wood in there if you are going to all that
trouble? Elm maybe..now that IS worth reclaiming.

Or how about brand new oak?

Its not that expensive..
