What is all that stuff stamped on your lumber and is it important? YES! Here’s why…
Buying lumber can result in headaches if you don’t buy the right wood boards for your project. Imagine spending a lot of money for that special project just to realize you overpaid, or even worse, you bought the wrong lumber. There have been times when I wondered why one stack of construction lumber was more expensive than another when the dimensions and quality seemed about the same. The stamp gave me insight into why there was a price difference. You also don’t want to ensure you aren’t accidently buying mismatched boards. I’ve made the mistake of buying some boards with a larger radius round over on the edges than others. I wish I would have paid attention to the stamps.
