A:  Hi, I'm happy to answer your question. Yes, Home depot does cut wood. How ever they do not offer precision cuts, so the tolerance is 1/2 inch to any and all cuts for the dimensions requested. Unless other arrangements are made with your local home depot, all cutting requests must be made in store at time of purchase. The amount of free cuts varys by location, please contact your local home depot for more information on their policy.

A:  yes that will work.

A:  I used dryy wall screws with out a issue.

A:  2"x3" lumber is actually 1-1/2" x 2-1/2". When bearing weight, especially from overhead I prefer a screw that is at least twice the length as the thickness of the board. So a board with an actual 1-1/2" thickness would require a 3 inch wood screw. ABSOLUTELY go with a wood screw, NOT a drywall screw. The price difference between a drywall screw and a wood screw is so small yet the difference in performance is huge. Drywall screws are relatively brittle compared to wood screws. Anyone who tried to drive a drywall screw into wood and snapped it in half knows what I'm talking about. I use Spax wood screws, this brand is sold at Home Depot. They are a premium wood screw that requires no drilling of pilot holes. They drive into the wood like a hot knife through butter. They cost $8 a box compared to $6.50 for a box of drywall screws. Spax wood screws use a T-Star bit which comes in the box of screws. This type of driver bit does not slip out of the screw head like a Phillips head bit does. I know that is a lot of information but I really like passing this knowledge onto others because it makes the job so much easier and produces great results.

A:  No.

A:  Yes, the stud is made of wood.

A:  Yes Roger, yes this kiln dried whiteWOOD stud is made out of wood.

A:  yes this is SPF lumber is a combination of Canadian Spruces, Pines and Firs growing in different regions of the country. All yield high grade timber with relatively small, sound tight knots.

A:  Yes

A:  Most certainly is

A:  Not exactly sure but having used this product before I would guess 2-3 lbs. per 8foot board. It's kind of hard to estimate just by picking it up because it is 8 foot long and the weight is distributed over a large area.

A:  6-8 pounds

A:  Yes, I have done that before with this wood. Don't forget to use wood glue and premium wood screws.

A:  You could, but unless you're fantastically skilled with cutting, sanding and staining/painting, or just plain don't care how it looks, it's probably not going to look so great. Get the better grades of lumber from the specialty aisle or a mill works, don't use framing lumber. This stuff is meant to be hidden away, or used for something where looks don't matter.

A:  yes you could do that.

A:  In theory, yes

A:  Very light. I would imagine 2 or 3 pounds.

A:  6-8 pounds

A:  No, their actual dimensions 1-1/2" x 2-1/2". Home Depot does sell lumber with actual 2"x3" dimension but this is not it.

A:  no their 1.5 x 2.5 inches.

A:  No, 1.5"

A:  No they are not. The nominal size is 1-1/2 by 2-1/2 inches

A:  It could also be cut and used for firewood !!!!

A:  Yes, this can be used for a desk. If you want a smooth table top though, I would not use these. They will warp and bend.

A:  yes you can use it to build a desk, I built a house for my bearded dragon.

A:  I don't see why not. You'll obviously have to plan out the sizing and dimensions. Keep in mind they are 1.5" x 2.5".
