Those could be worth quite a bit to the right people, due to their length and depending on their variety. A friend of mine had an opportunity to tear down an old house and keep the lumber. The house had been built in Galveston shortly after the 1900 hurricane. The ceiling joists were fir, full 2 x 12's (2 1/8 x 12 1/4). I think that they were either 20' or 24' in length. He had them ripped into 2 x 8's. I helped him move the resulting 2 x 4 leftovers. When I reached down to pick one up, I thought I had gotten hold of a tree. Those things were HEAVY. I tried to drive a nail in one and the nail bent, every time. A person would have had to drill a pilot hole. You very rarely, if ever, see lumber like that any more for framing.
