Hi! In my woodshed (which is built in several sections) there is an inner wall made of rough-cut boards. I think this wall might also have been an outer wall at some point. My question is, when was paneling with rough-cut boards used? Could this part originate from the 18th century based on construction technique? Grateful for an answer!
Steam sawmills emerged in the 1800s, before which wood processing was largely manual. The cut nail began to be mass-produced in the mid-1800s.
If the panel is evenly thick, it is likely steam-sawn; if it is nailed with cut nail, it is at least not mounted where it is before the mid-1800s.

Unedged boards are still used, so drawing conclusions based solely on that is difficult.
