  Wormy Chestnut lumber was created as a by-product of the fungal blight that destroyed the American Chestnut forest in the early 1900's. Once the American Chestnut was attacked by the blight it weakened it's resistance to the borer worm. Thereby creating what is now known as Wormy Chestnut. This was supposed to be the bad news, but it created a beautiful effect and of course a demand for this product. It also appears that Wormy Chestnut lumber has retained its resistance to rot and other insects as well. If you are looking for American Chestnut lumber or Wormy Chestnut lumber or Wormy Chestnut beams. I have it to sell. American chestnut is available but takes longer to obtain.

Wormy Chestnut Lumber starts at $10.00 b.f. for reclaimed lumber  i.e. 2 x 4s
2 x 6s
