Chestnut wormwood wanted

[BigEd682]

Hello all. I'm refurbishing an older home in Fairview, NC and I'm in need of some wormy chestnut wood. The existing pieces are 3", 4", 5" and 6" wide and in various lengths (see the attached pictures). I need approximately 150-170 sq.ft. to make the needed repairs. The existing walls are just beautiful and my wife and I are looking forward to returning this gem in the rough to it's former glory. Please let me know if you have any of this wood available or know someone who does. Thank you my fellow Woodsman. Ed

Hey, Ed. Your profile doesn't state where you are located so, depending on where you live, you might find some at reclaimed lumber suppliers.

Hi Raymond... My house is in Fairview, NC. Just east of Asheville.

Ed,

I didn’t specifically check your location and for chestnut, but I have had some success sourcing wood using the “wood finder” web page. It’s a relatively old school web page but it used to work reasonably well.

Good Luck!

Thank you TENdriver.
I'll give "wood finder" a try. Happy New Year.

Hi Ed,
I'm in Denver NC (Near Charlotte) I have quite a bit of wormy chestnut. What you pictured looks to be T&G which mine is not.
Feel free to contact me if you do not find any closer.

Thanks

Hey DJ,
Can you tell me some more about the wormy chestnut you have?
Thickness, widths, lengths? How much do you have (SF)? How much are you asking per SF?
I'm not worried about T&G as I can do that myself.
I appreciate your time and consideration,
Ed

I live in Waynesville, NC (not too far from you) and have a whole ton of it that we are most likely taking out when we begin our remodel (within the next few weeks). It's been on the walls away from the elements so it's in great shape.
