Pete,

You should be careful if the wood was painted or treated with something. Wood with preservatives might be unhealthy to handle and stains or paint might be problems with epoxy if you don't cut it all out.

Otherwise it's just a lot of resawing and planning how you strip with what you got.

It seems worth it if you can find it for free in enough quantity. Consider how much waste you will have to cut out.
