Asked by Rhonda Helming from Southern Indiana
We have torn down several old buildings/barns on our property. Now we are wanting to sell the barn wood, plus we have about 20 hand hewn timbers. We don’t know what to charge for them. Could you help me out?
Thanks
Old barn
There is an old barn on our property that is being sold commercial. Everything will be torn down by the buyer. I’d hate to see the old barn wood go to the dump. What should I charge for the wood if they have to take it down themselves? Not looking to make a bunch a money. Just looking a lump sum to take all they want.
Cheap lumber
I have several hundred feet of grey and brown board, mostly oak with some Walnut and some hickory. Boards range from 36″-5’L x 5″-15″W x 3/4″T. All clean of nails and debris and squared off on the ends. Will deliver it order is big enough.email Nate at [email protected] to talk price.(will sell cheap)

Barn for sale
Im not for sure what type of wood it is but the size is 63 1/2 x 45 1/2. It’s a big barn with a second story loft that’s almost as big as the downstairs. My great grandfather built this barn in late 50’s/early 60’s. The barn is still standing and is in great shape, I just don’t need it and would like to have the spot cleared off so I can maybe build a house there someday. If you think you might be interested, I can send you pictures. But now I don’t know what type of wood but it’s great wood especially considering the barn is still standing and it’s built on top of a hill and been through quite a few storms in its lifetime. But we think it’s hickory or oak? You might be able to tell in the pictures.

How much is it worth
As a newby in the industry as well, your question is the big one. It all depends on the wood and who you can get to look at it. I do a wholesale operation with little overhead in Northern IL. I store my wood outdoors (stickered and covered)on a gravel lot. I advertise on craigslist so my customers vary from woodworkers to the crafter that wants one piece. I am currently selling cedar and fir at about $2 a board foot. This is a fire sale price but I’m more interested in moving it out than sitting on it for a couple of bucks more. The more someone wants the lower the price goes. I usually stay firm on the rough sawn beams but then again no one has offered to buy more than one or two. If they were hand hewn you can ask more.
To feel out my customers I ask them what they are looking for in a price and quantity rather than setting a price like a store. This way I can judge on the spot what will work to sell the most wood and make a profit.
This helps me earn a fair reputation and will bring people back as I collect higher quality woods.
So that doesn’t really answer the question but like the post was answered its all relative to the wood, customer and demand.

Hi Rohnda,
Thank you for your question. I get this question a lot and the short answer is, (drum roll here) it depends.
I would love to tell you that there is one price per board foot on barnwood across the board and that is it, and all there is to it, but like anything that is used, it just isn’t that simple.
There are just so many factors that it is impossible to even appraise a piece of barn wood on site. There are questions that come up like:
Do you want to sell it all at once? or one six foot piece at a time?
Do your beams have several defects like mortise pockets, and rafter notches?
What is the color of the beam or board like? Is it brown, grey?
Does it have paint on it?
Is there lead paint on it?
Are there a lot of nails? or other metal?
Are there large cracks?
Is there insect damage? How much?
What species is it?
Even when you answer all of those questions there are others that deal with who you are trying to sell to.
Are they a manufacturer of flooring? a furniture maker? a homeowner? a wholesaler? and so on and so on…
So how much is barn wood worth? Sadly the most accurate answer is, it depends.
Don’t worry though I am not going to leave you without at least one piece of advice that you can go out and use today.
My best advice for you would be to get offers from folks who are looking for barn beams. Place ads on different websites or even your own local newspaper.
You can list your barn wood for sale for free here at barngeek.com. Once you start getting calls and emails ask for offers and take the one that best works for you.
You may get calls from folks who want to buy a six foot long piece for a mantle. Or you may get calls from folks who want to buy the whole lot. Or you may get calls from folks who want any quantity in between.
Consider all of the questions above and all the time and effort you put in to the work and come up with pricing that best suits you, in your unique situation.
I wish you all the best in your endeavor and thank you for your efforts in reclaiming some of our unique American Heritage.
Best Regards,
The Barn Geek
