Anybody know of businesses that would be interested in buying some very large, very old beams from a house from the late 1800s.  These beams are already down, some cut and are about 4-5 inches by 12 inches, you just cannot find these anymore.

    NY timber/ M. Fine lumber.

    Salvage wholesalers will give you somewhere between ten cents to twentyfive cents per board foot (not linear foot) depending on the species.  Fur being the least valuable and most common from residential properties.  Long leaf/ yellow pine being the more valuable and typically from industrial/commercial properties.  Length, amount of nails/damage will also dictate price.
