What is seasoned wood? What is it used for? Definition

Edged wood is a rectangular piece of wood obtained by edging a plank. Its name comes from its sharp edges. This type of wood is appreciated by carpenters and cabinetmakers for the manufacture of frameworks, cladding, staircases and furniture....

On WoodPartners, you can find the professional you need to buy your lumber at the best price. Whether you're looking for oak, exotic or planed edged wood, you'll find all the types of edged wood you need for your projects on our site.

 

Plank or frieze?

Any piece of wood with a rectangular cross-section and sharp edges is a lumber. The term "frieze" refers to sawn timber with a width of less than 100 mm.

 

How do I choose the right type of edged wood for my project?

To choose the right edged board for your project, you need to determine : 

• The size of the project: different dimensions of lumber are available to suit your project,
• The nature of the project: different wood classes exist depending on the wood's exposure to the elements and humidity (class 1 for humidity below 20% to class 5 for permanent contact with seawater),
• Temperature exposure: natural drying (sensitive to temperature variations) or kiln drying (better suited to sudden temperature changes),
• The desired wood: hardwood, softwood or exotic.
