Kiln Dried, Re-Sawn Timbers
Timbers are first cut oversized, kiln dried, then re-sawn to size for superior stability and surface texture. This process takes out most of the twist and some of the checking that naturally occurs through drying and results in a straighter timber.
Sizes: 2 x 4 through 22 x 22 in the rough, 2 x 4 through 14 x 22 surfaced. Lengths to 36 feet.
