FREE Sample: Cup, Bow, & Crook: Buying Lumber Guide
It goes without saying that the best way to avoid trouble when building a wood project is to start with lumber that is straight, flat, and square. Unfortunately, most of the lumber shelves at a home center are riddled with boards that are warped and twisted. The challenge for small-project builders is to figure out how to dig through the piles and pull out the best boards in the stack. Find out what to look for -- and what to avoid -- with my easy lumber-buying guide.
