I'm guessing you've never worked with an aged hardwood. They can be easily restored and be better than buying new hardwood, let alone saving cost of new lumber and waste.
You
always reuse hardwood if possible, just not necessarily for this particular project as the ends might need to be trimmed off and then the width of the chair would be too short. Wood in general right now is a rip-off thanks to the ~5 large milling corporations ****ing everyone over.
There is no doubt in my mind that most of that wood is still perfect to use with a planer and new edges.
