S2S1E Kiln-dried (surfaced 2 sides and 1 edge) lumber is for the woodworker as the boards are partially dressed. Boards are “skip” surfaced on both faces with 1 edge clean-ripped. Skip surfaced cleans up most of the roughness to the board, but there could be an occasional rough patch on the faces of boards. Additional dressing and planning of the boards may be needed to complete your project. Since one edge is left rough, please allow a 1” variance in the width of the board.
Grade allows for an occasional pin or small knot, small defect or wane on back side of board. Boards can also have a small end check (crack at end of board). We recommend purchasing board a little longer than project needs to accommodate clean up cut at job site.
Spanish Cedar, also known as West Indian Cedar, is grown in Florida; West Indies and South America. Spanish Cedar is known for its aromatic fragrance rather than its plain color. It is a soft wood that is naturally inset repellent and often used for humidors and cloths storage. It is also used for furniture and cabinet making.
