Did you know wall panels have been a form of interior design since the medieval period, and many homes today still have wainscoting? In fact, this is the marvel of red oak lumber, which through cutting and sizing, lends itself to tongue and grove wainscoting for home interiors.
One of the benefits of using rough cut lumber like cypress is that, because it is thicker in dimension (than surfaced lumber), it is more tolerant of imperfections. This means that there is more room for error in a building project, which often translates to cost savings as well.
When choosing rough-cut lumber for your project, it’s recommended that you buy long. You shouldn’t expect to get an 8-foot length out of an 8-foot rough board, as they will usually contain checks, knots, or wild grain that will need to be cut off.
Because it is highly resistant to decay, plastic lumber is an excellent material for building applications that require sustained contact with water or soil such as playground equipment, decking, and landscaping needs.
The first step in preparing rough sawn lumber is to dry the lumber outside. The general rule when it comes to properly drying the lumber is that each board will require one year of drying time for each inch of thickness.
