What are Hardwoods and Softwoods? Why does bird's eye occur in different kinds of wood? The dimensions of rough cut lumber determine the lumber's nominal size. This can be misleading to a novice when lumber is referred to in sizes which are not the actual dimensions. So how does it work? Is it better to paint a big project piece by piece or as a whole assembled together? I've been building furniture, mostly out of pine, and I've been very disappointed to find that after a project is finished the joints become loose and some of the pieces no longer fit properly. I suspect that it has something to do with humidity. What do I do? When did chestnut trees disappear?
