That 150 year old patina looks great !….Well done !….thanks for sharing

Nice reuse of wood with a known history and giving it purpose .
I like this kind of project because one can relate to it .
It likely is oak but I cant fathom that it was used as siding .

kdc68, yes it does have some character.

Kiefer, I can’t imagine oak siding either but it looks just like the framing lumber I salvaged, I have asked several locals and the consensus is Chestnut oak.

I guess oak siding would be no stranger than the [oldest] Queen Ann [in Olympia, Washington] I helped restore. Everything, I mean everything (e.g., floors, framing, rafters, etc.) was cedar.

This turned out nice, but that’s nothing packing a few tools around in it can’t cure. ;)

Very nice

I really need to start looking at using splines. They look great and look rather easy to do once you make a 45-degree bed/sled for the TS. Thanks for sharing!

I like it simple but cool.
