Lumber Stuffs, Get It Here

First, let me apologize about the static in this audio. I specifically did this same demonstration with the same hardware at the same time last week and I had great sound. All I can figure it the radio on my phone (no wifi) was interfering with the wireless lav mic. If I do it again I’ll get a wired lav mic. Anyway, this session is all about you and the questions you have about lumber, the lumber industry, buying lumber, choosing lumber, etc, etc.

What Did We Cover?

A LOT!! Its a really broad topic and I had way more questions than I could keep up with. Thank you for that. We covered a lot of basics from terminology to how to choose your lumber and prepare for a trip to the lumber yard. We even talked about some ways to source lumber when you don’t have a retail or wholesale yard near you. Here are some blog posts to help you with some of the points I talked about.

Thank You for all the information.

Thanks for doing this Shannon! I do typically bring a block plane, always ask before, and have never been turned down. I won’t bother with it unless I come across a collection of boards that are so thoroughly oxidized that I can’t predict the color. I also always sweep up any shavings.
