The wood that was used in them is so much better than any you find now a days! Even the one we just moved, which was built in the last 50 years...the wood's incredible! All Western Larch and Douglas Fir, and hardly ANY twist or grain deviation!!! Gorgeous stuff! They're definately worth salvaging! I've seen some really neat homes built from the "timber framing" from an old barn!
