100 Year Old Planks

So.... I smell another project!
Here is Big E cutting a piece of 12 foot
100 year old tongue and groove pine boards 
from an old Baltimore distillery
so it fits in the truck.
Found these on the Facebook Marketplace.
Drove an hour into the boonies and rooted in a pile of boards
covered with straw in an ancient barn.
SO MUCH FUN
The woman who was selling them told us
her late husband was a woodworker.
She couldn't remember which distillery he told her the boards were from,
but she knew it was a 100 year old building in Baltimore.
We have 4 12 foot pieces
cut in half.
The plan is to build a pub height table for the kitchen
that will serve as a place to eat a quick meal,
extra counter space and
a "bar" or buffet for gatherings.
Can't wait to see it completed!
