Ever see a house made out of 2x4 that were laid flat on top of each
other much like a log cabin? People did strange things in OR and WA

I have found old fir to get a bit brittle to work, but don't let that stop you from using it it will be fine.
I have seen that construction at old farms, I have always assumed those structures were used for grain storage.
