Yes, but we’ll be using them this spring. They use green wood all the time at the farm to build buildings with little to no problem.

50 2x4x9’ pine studs for the workshop. There are 5 2x4x8.6’ quartersawn white oak studs on the pile. Considering the cost of studs, that was a pretty good payday. Considering the cost of what we need to buy, my workshop may not be as big. Another guy got a call from a tree company and they had...
