Treating rough-sawn southern yellow pine lumber for dry-wood termites Hello, I am new to this forum and searching for info on treating my rough-sawn pine lumber for drywood termites. I harvested 28 standing pine sawlogs that started dying during our summer 2012 drought (very solid trees with hardly no blue stain).
Location. Mini soda. Mar 13, 2012. #8. Cottonwood is pretty close in working properties to aspen, or was call it in MN, "popple". Not a bad construction lumber, sometimes brittle and try to use cement-coated nails. It is often used for pallets and crating. Major downfall is that it is notoriously hard to dry straight.
Hi my buddy has a Saw mill and I get what ever I need from him, I have built a Chicken Coop out of Rough Cut Hemlock and Pine, The Boards ( 10 Inch X 1 Inch ) are Pine and the Battons ( 2.5 Inch X 1 Inch ) are Hemlock, And I also put up a Horse Fence using the same stuff ( 6 Inch X 1 Inch ).

Near where I live you can go to some small saw mills and get rough lumber- farmers around here use it to make sheds and for rough projects. I suppose you can buy it form the mills cheaper than you can cut your own.
We always preferred rough cut green white oak for our lowboys decking. Nothing resist weather better especially after being soaked in oil and grease. Also steel decking is slicker than snot on an oil slick. Dangerous when loading even tracked equipment. White oak resist dents better as well as equivalent weight steel as well.
Hey guys I need some advise on my floor for my 16' x 16' shop. I just got the lumber screwed down on one side of the shop. Some of the wood is just a little thicker than the 1" that was cut. Most is oak, popular and hickory. ( Yes I went with a variety ) Should I rent a floor sander. Drum...

Hammondsport, ny. Feb 19, 2015. #7. You could slap a $9500 sticker on it and see what happens. Places like in the picture and Hearne hardwoods and other sell stuff because of who they are. A fancy shop with a fancy name will sell a more expensive product. I was pretty happy to get 3-4 dollars a bft for a slab.
