Old house and barn wood needs a new life . Much of it is very long pieces of old boards.
Thank you .

Are the board on the building(s), or loose? I recently took old wood and did a light spray of satin finish spray paint and it looks like a picklewash. If you like that idea, you can always thin down a water-based paint and picklewash that way.
Do you want to make something from the Barn Wood?
You could make growth sticks (can't think of what they are actually called). Make them look like rulers. Stencil them. Or you could use them as shiplap for an accent wall. Maybe a really long coat rack by adding hooks. Love old wood!
I have always wanted a long table to eat outside. I would use some of those long boards to fashion such a table. The boards wouldn't even need to be hammered together. . . you can just set them on saw horses!
Make picture frames
The boards are loose.
Do you want ideas ? Enough to make a Summer House - A Pergola - A Gazebo -

Garden Arch etc. etc.............. or is it something for the house.........?
