I had an 1824 farm house in West Stockbridge, MA. The town had one of the first water powered sawmills. You could see the type of sawmill was a fixed blade that moved vertically.
The house had wide plank pine floors, each plank was 18-24" wide! Several rooms had the floor covered up with newer oak flooring, I am sure because the pine didn't hold up. But the bedrooms, where you could still see the pine, beautiful.
