Just found out how much a single old growth timber could be worth

Honestly, I was watching some show about logging history last night and they said one giant redwood tree from the 1800s could be worth over $50,000 today just for the lumber. That's wild to me. They showed a photo of a single log being hauled by a whole team of oxen. It got me thinking about all the old barn wood and beams we pull out on demo jobs. Has anyone here ever worked with reclaimed wood that turned out to be way more special than you thought?

But is it worth cutting them down?

Cutting them down is always worth it.
