It might be ok if you can make use of those boards as-is, but if you're
going to plane them down and get to the nice wood underneath you might as
well just buy what you want from the lumber yard.


Given it's sourced from the west, it's likely that the boards
are douglas fir. Perhaps even some old-growth. Very pretty,
durable wood when surfaced. May even be a few quarter sawn.

At $12 each for 8bf, that's less than $2.00/BF, which doesn't seem
a bad deal at all.
