Most HD customers go to the lumber department expecting to find studs
suitable for cabinet work. If precision is what you want, go to a
hardwood supply house and buy kiln dried oak, maple, walnut, etc. For
framing applications, you should talk with a professional framer and ask
how he selects lumber.
S:
Not quite. I do go there expecting studs that won't be premade
airplane
propellors or 'rustic cabin siding, 2" thick', or gigantic clothespins,
and
find I am sometimes disappointed.
Cordially yours:
Speaking of that, where can one buy cedar shingles? I only need one
or two to repair a bird feeder.
