Hi everyone,
I own a property (in England) built in 1818. One of the roofing trusses is badly rotten and has had extensive woodworm damage in the past, though it's not active, probably recently treated. However, the beam does have to come out. As the property is listed I need to make sure I replace the stretcher beam and king post with the same species of reclaimed timber.
Below are some photos, so I'm wondering if anyone can tell which species it is?
In this photo you can see where one of the stud walls has been removed, so the wood's natural colour (though a bit dusty) can be seen, with the stained colour on either side. The other photos are a better representation of colour.
And below the grain can be seen a bit clearer.
And below the rotten areas
I hope someone can help? Thanks
