We bought in bulk and about a 1/4 of our order were worn, had visible insect damage and molded. They were all slyly hidden between the good planks.

The boards were in great condition. No warpage or split ends. I enjoyed working with them.Now, this is a comment/question that I have concerning 1x boards in your store.I noticed the scan tags say the boards came from Sweden. Is it possible to ship boards from another country cheaper than they can be produced in the USA? Texas and other states have lumber mills and plenty of pine. I don't get this.

Quality of the wood was good. The boards themselves were bent and warped. I was planning on making 3 interior barn doors for my house and probably can’t complete it now.

You need a good clean edge if you are going to build a book shelf. I found that not only did I get that but the wood has a better feel than other grades. I have 3 boards left over from a job and they have remained flat and true with no warping. That shows it was dried correctly.

Order some extra boards because you will have some waste from the milling process or tree grade. Overall, I was pleased as I ordered 10% extra and had 2% to take back.

Sweden and some other Nordic countries buy logs from Russia and Eastern European countries then convert them to lumber and other items. The stuff is cheaper than Western European lumber (Not much of that left) and can be lower quality. It's possible that the raw logs come from that region and go through Sweden to get cut and milled. Sweden sounds better than Russia, eh?
