Hi,
This might be a daft question, but, I'm doing some work on my 1920's house and the old timber is quite a bit heavier than the new timber from the merchants yard. Why?
The new timber is softwood pine and weighs almost nothing compared to the old timber which also looks like pine.. but heavier.
Presumably the old timber is of a higher quality?
The old timbers darker by the way, and with a coarser finish.
