          Q:Since this is untreated and also dried, could it be cut and used as a newel post for an interior staircase?
          by|Feb 3, 2021
          1 Answer
          Answer This Question

          A:  it could be used as a newel post, but it is worth nothing that this item is produced from a softwood species, Douglas Fir, and would show marks and scrapes a bit more prominently than a hardwood alternative.

                Q:Can this be mounted onto a wall as a mantle?
                by|May 15, 2020
                1 Answer
                Answer This Question

                A:  yes, absolutely, but we would recommend securing the product very well to the wall and other components of the mantle. This is product is kiln dried, but likely not as dry as it may become the warm, dry environment above the fireplace and if left unsecured may have a natural desire to twist a bit as the growth rings contract.
