Yeah, not this stuff. A lot of it was already splitting, and it was
worse in almost every respect than the regular dimensional lumber.
Not just one or two bails either.


did you say what kind of wood

are you talking fir or something else

was the wood indoors

studs are meant to be used soon after harvesting but at a home supply
they sit around and do what they do

once cover with siding and drywall and blocked and nailed and screwed
harder for them do what they do unconstrained

Around here virtually all construction lumber is "SPF" -
Spruce/Pine/Fir mixed - sometimes with some hemlock or Tamarak thrown
in for good measure - any "white" softwood they can get their hands
on.
