Too expensive but had to get it. I brushed up against a 2x4 the other day and got a splinter. They charged me $5 for the splinter.

Cedar Lumber 2x4x8

Would Recommend

I would recommend it to anyone who likes spending a bunch of time sorting through lumber that's more than a bit bowed twisted & full of knots. Yippy, good times!

Works great in place of PT's

Would Recommend

I discovered these this year when you were out of PT boards. Best change I ever made; they look great when installed and didn't crack and split when in the sun.

Very Nice Lumber!

Would Recommend

Top Choice 2 x 4 x 8-ft Cedar Lumber used to replace horizontal fence pieces which had wood rot and decay. The lumber was perfectly milled, exactly correct size, and free of typical blemishes. First purchase consisted of (6) six pieces; all straight, clean and splinter free. I was so impressed with this lumber that I will build the fence gate from same material.

Lowe’s gives decent wood for the $

Would Recommend

Needed wood without any chemicals added in the process and didn’t want to spend big bucks on it as no one would ever see the difference, and I’d be the only one that knew the difference. Was a good option, I’d get Lowes’ Wood again.

It's real wood!

Would Recommend

Pick the product with the least departure from 'normal'. Avoids "treated" lumber.
