I never did ask you where you found that sweet lookin' clear(ish)
pineywood, Morris. I remember that premium studs used to look like
that. Any more, the waney, knotty, case-hardened crap they sell for
studs is ghastly. Or is that just The Canuckistani's Revenge wood
they're exporting at us?

Those came from the Gilchrist-Jewett lumberyard in Waukee, Iowa. They
helped me pick through a couple of pallets of 20-footers to find the
best of the bunch for a couple of shop projects.

It was all from the US and only slightly more spendy than at the BORG or
Menards.
