Interesting Changes In Redwood Grading Rules
Standard grading rules for redwood lumber now perrnit shipment of dressed finish in all lengths from three to 20 feet, according to announcement by the California Redwood Association, San Francisco.
Standard lengths are now 3 to 20 feet in multiples of l-foot or Z-feet for dressed finish and for all yard grades worked to bevel, bungalow and colonial siding, ceiling, wall boarding, drop siding, rustic and similar patterns.
The change extends the privilege of shipping odd lengths, which heretofore was permissible only in lengths shorter than 10 feet, to the longer lengths. It also reduces the standard lengths from 6 to 20 feet to 3 to 20 feet for dressed finish and for casing, base, etc. No change in standard lengths has been made for rough finish or other yard grades, rough or dressed.
The change was made to conserve lumber, as most of the clefects arising from working or seasoning may be eliminated by trimming one foot instead of two feet, as has been practiced in the past.
In addition, it is no longer necessary that the number of knots in Select Heart redwood two inches and thinner be limited to one maximum-size l<not or equivalent in smaller knots to each four linear feet.
These and other changes clarifying the present rules will be incorporated in a new grading rule booklet to be issued by the California Redwood Association as soon as possible.
