Great lumber, these can be used for studs, shelving, fence backer rails or any project where you need strength but with a little less strength, cost and size compared to a 2 x 4. I have also used these to create walls between tubs and showers for plumbing to save some space and money. I used these extensively in my shed for the walls and shelving.
As with any lumber, you need to pick through the pile for good pieces. These are kiln-dried with <20% moisture but will still dry out a little further. Before they dry out further they take nails and screws well, after you may need to pre-drill holes.
They are not sanded and are of general rough lumber quality. They can be stained or painted if need be. The type of wood (different from store to store) is either spruce, pine or fur. These are not pressure treated and should not make contact with the ground or they will rot.

Yes the 2in. x 3in. x 96in. Select Kiln Dried Whitewood Stud met my expectations. Sure enough, it measured 2" x 3" x 98" and I liked that it seemed to have been dried in a kiln, however, I wouldn't rule out a low temperature oven. I bought 8 of them for a project that needed my immediate attention. They have been sitting in my garage for 2 weeks now. They still look pretty straight. Rock On Home D!
(disclaimer, actual dimensions were 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 96) See optional photo

2x3’s are usually bowed and twisted in the store and are usually damp to the touch. They are not dried in the kiln long enough. I pick the straightest ones then install immediately before they can warp. Only use them when absolutely necessary.
I realize they’re from new growth trees but they there must be a way to make them more stable.

Thank you for your review. We truly appreciate and value your feedback.
Expansion, contraction, twisting, warping, cracking, cupping, splitting, bowing; These are all -natural characteristics of kiln-dried wood when the internal moisture content % has changed. Our product originates in a northern climate. Though it is still kiln- dried, wood is similar to a sponge and it will either take on additional moisture or dry out in warm dry air climates.
If the product has been stored inside a warm dry climate like a store, for an extended period the characteristics outlined above will occur. It is in this regard wood is no different than any perishable item found in a supermarket.
We are working with the Team at Home Depot to assist in the important daily inventory management and merchandising of our products to improve the quality of the product you purchase.

I got these to use for 2 bearded dragons houses, I had to dig through the stack to find some that were not warped, but I did not have to look vary hard.
I attached the plywood to them using drywall screws which worked great.

Just like any and all other stores that carry lumber, there will be some that are bent, chipped, split, etc. That's wood, that is going to happen. If you take just 5 minutes to look through the pile you will find a lot of great quality 2x3s. I use these to make legs for my cornhole games. The grains look great and overall very pleased with this lumber.
