What is the most important thing to look out for when buying any kind of lumber?

• May 10, 2024

When purchasing lumber for any project, the most important thing is to ensure that the material been properly kiln dried.  Lumber should be dried to between 6-8% moisture content which will prevent the wood from warping or cracking after finishing. Also, make sure to check the material for any drying defects such as cup, bow, twist and cracks.  When shopping with us you can be assured all our slabs and lumber is properly dried.  We mill and dry all our slabs inhouse thereby assuring a high quality product.
