I have a large stack of old Barn beams i want to mill. The beams are riddled with nails. I pulled all the nails that i can find, however, there may be a few nails that were broken off and rust left in the wood as well. I want to mill it into usable lumber.
I have heard of people milling old wood the term now is "reclaimed" wood. Just wondering if there is a sawmill out there that can handle very old and hard wood. This stuff is so old and hard you can bearly pull a nail out of it or even drive a nail into it for that matter. The other concern is the rust, dirt, and nails left in the wood.
