You're onto something......soon it will all be composite studs.


The lumber in the middle of a bundle is just as bad as the lumber on the outside. The difference being how fast you'll see it.

After watching these hybrid trees they use for lumber there is no wonder they look like pretzels once they are cut up. A 4 inch snow on them bends a 5" tree double and they don't straighten back up. When you start with junk material one shouldn't be surprised to end up with an inferior project.


Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

Be sure to use those straight pieces you got from the center right away. Let them lay for a week, and they will look just like the crooked ones you passed on. They have forgotten how to dry wood, and most of it is so gnarly that it's still warps after it’s dry!
