Material: Using old pine for SOF?

Howdy all,

A neighbor was remodeling, and I got a fair load of 1x8x12 clear pine boards. They were used in false ceiling beams, and probably are 20-30 years old. Outside was stained and varnished, insides look good but dusty and dry. Is this worth using for an SOF? Or is it too brittle?

Thanks
