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
