  6. Wait… a 2”x4” is not really 2”x4”??? • Wood sizes are given in the rough cut size. So at the mill they used to cut a 2”x4” piece of wood, then as it dried it shrank. Now, they have much more control over the process, but they set their machines to the old sizes… some might think this is so they make more money… hmmm.

  9. How natural wood deforms • One problem often encountered with natural wood is that it can deform. • Causes for this usually have to do with the drying process or conditions where the wood was stored.

  10. Man Made Wood • Manufactured or Engineered wood is made in a factory from sheets of wood or chips or even sawdust. Unlike natural wood, when you purchase engineered wood it is exactly the size it says it is. • Engineered lumber has many uses, you interact with it everyday. • While many types of engineered lumber are less attractive than natural wood, you can buy hardwood veneer plywood (veneer means a thin slice of wood – usually about 1/8” thick that forms the outside layer of a sheet of plywood) which has all the beauty of the original wood – though it will cost more than less attractive plywood.
