1 x 5
« on: September 04, 2009, 08:17:28 AM »
Just finished 3,000 board feet of 1 x 5 Douglas Fir lumber for Pacific University's new nurses training center.  What a job!  The logs were so rough that even a bear would not want to scratch his back on the logs.  Now for the bench material, out of Wild Cherry, English Walnut, Western Red Cedar and Birch.  All of the bench material has to be at least rough cut to 4 x 9s.   ::)

Sounds like a whopper.

I just got an order for 300 -1x10 and 267 full 2x6 all from Western Red Cedar.

They are being used for an room divider that is non structural in nature, in a new nurses training center for Pacific University.  The school is a private one that is homebased in Forest Grove, Oregon.
