RE: YOUR WOOD PIECE(S):
Regardless of the type or thickness or size of wood, please note:
- Although each piece of wood is hand-selected and care is taken to select the best pieces/boards/sheets/planks of wood available at the time of purchase, wood does have natural imperfections that may include:
- knots
- splits
- varied grain patterns
- splintering
- Although each piece of wood is hand-selected and care is taken to select the best pieces/boards/sheets/planks of wood available at the time of purchase, the manufacturer's and/or warehouse imperfections may include:
- splits
- stamped/printed text
- small dents
- slight curves/bends
- splintering
- scuff marks, etc.
- staple marks from tags
- putty repairs
- saw blade marks
- Pieces are hand-cut & hand-sanded & hand-drilled:
- There will be imperfections in the shape of pattern.
- No two will be exactly alike.
- There may be imperfections in the cut edges of the wood.
- There may be saw blade marks.
- There may be (paintable) puttied areas.
- There may be (paintable) pencil marks.
- There may be splintering &/or puttied repair on the reverse side of project with drilled holes.
- SIZE OF WOOD: Please note: The way lumber is measured, it is NOT the actual thickness nor width. IE: 1"x 8" board = approx. .75" thick by approx. 7.25" wide.
SINGLE SIDED vs. DOUBLE-SIDED PROJECTS:
If you purchased a single-sided projected, there is a chance that the reverse side may not be usable for another project for a variety of reasons. If a double-sided project was purchased, care was taken to make sure both sides were usable for your project.
TYPES OF WOOD USED, DEPENDING ON PROJECT:
Porch Leaners / Growth Charts and other boards:
TYPE OF WOOD = Common board; Pine; or whitewood or other similar.
Wood cut outs, door/wall hangers, etc.:
1/4" BIRCH PLYWOOD This is what we primarily use , unless otherwise stated or otherwise selected by you when options are given. This birch plywood has an attractive appearance, as well as a smooth finish for painting. The 1/4" thickness allows for sturdiness, yet is lightweight enough to be safer (if it falls) than heavier options.
WHAT WE USE THIS TYPE OF WOOD FOR:
- Door hangers
- Porch/Outdoor Projects
- Seasonal
- Indoor projects
1/2" MDF This wood has a smooth finish for painting. The 1/2" thickness is nice and sturdy for everyday use.
WHAT WE USE THIS TYPE OF WOOD FOR:
- Everyday projects
- Indoor projects
