2x4 or 1.5x3.5? Turns out, it’s both! 💡 When dimensional lumber is processed at the mill, it goes through a careful dehydration process to reduce moisture content, leading to natural shrinkage. To account for this, our lumber is initially cut slightly oversized. The result? A difference of about half an inch between the rough cut and the finished size. | Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods

You can use wood from Home Depot in your projects 😮 What’s great about dimensional lumber (think 2x4 and 2x6) is they are cheap so it’s great for beginners just starting out in woodworking. Honestly, one of my favorite pieces I ever built was this console table. I love how it looks like reclaimed wood. Have you built with 2x4’s before? Let me know in the comments! | Built by Bec
