I’ve got a barn on my farm that unfortunately I’m gonna have to tear down, cost would be way to high to fix it.
Any of you guys build anything with old barn lumber? Got any ideas and or pictures of your projects?

Wood condition and species are #1. Marketing and logistics #2.
Barn, and barn wood are broad terms.

Will tell you this if you have an auctioneer friend and you can get it on an auction. Down here that stuff sales and it goes for a pretty penny Pretty penny indeed. There are more than a couple of Amish farms in the area now that are "growing" their own "barn wood." You'll spot them easily enough, as the farm is surrounded by a fence of fresh pine boards, untreated and unpainted. Give it several years and they start on one end, taking down "barn wood" and putting up fresh pine. The home grown barn wood then becomes the nick nacks they sell to the English. Quite the entrepreneurs.

1) Make a fish smoking box with the barn wood with smoke piped in from a small wood burner
2) Birdhouses look great when made from barn wood
3) Coat hanger boards with shotgun or rifle shell for hangers Also railroad spikes cut in half for hangers
4) Shadow boxes give that old fashioned look with those boards
