Saw a large square junk of timber ashore in a cove west of where we live a week ago when we were on our berry picking trip and decided to go back with chainsaw and try to see if we could salvage it.

You can see the piece of wood ashore on the rocks


Took my big saw for this job. Log was 16x18 inches square bud there was a bolt in about the middle . After sawing of a 8 ft junk the rest looked kinda doubtful .

We rolled 8 ft to the water and left the rest


Towed that section to another location nearby where we rolled it ashore. We then backed the boat in as close as possible and rolled it up a couple sticks into the boat




Spent a nice day aboard the boat. Got a section of wood. Will have to saw it and see if it was worth the effort. Time will tell

Looks like it was some sort of "squared" timber??

The bolt may provide some clues to the original use of this timber

Neat! Sounds like something I would attempt...

Let us know what you find when you unwrap it!

P.S. Are those long-sleeve shirts you guys are wearing? It's been 92° in the shade here for weeks!

I think it's pine . Came of a wharf structure somewhere up the St Lawrence River most likely.

Those are not long sleeved shirts those are bug jackets. The black flies are wicked here right now.
