A few tips on infusing wood into your construction project.

1. Have it treated if it will be placed outdoors, stain and varnish it well and keep varnishing it with a clear coat varnish at least once a year.
2. Try and get well dried timber as this minimises the chances of it warping over time, a quick tip is dried timber is usually lighter, lift the planks to gauge their weight.
3. The type of wood matters a lot on the application. If your application is merely aesthetics then soft wood will do, but if the structure is to bear some weight then hardwood will be your best choice.
4. Ensure your joints are well made, ideally you want screws and brackets on outdoor wood pieces as opposed to nails and dowels. No matter how dry wood exposed to the atmosphere has tendency to move and twist, not a good thing to nails and dowels.
5. Have your planks machine cut and sanded well, no matter how exotic the wood is, it will still look bad if the cuts are not straight.
6. Also do not forget to seal your wood with sanding sealer. A common mistake we see when people fix doors. Construction sites are full of many solvents, paints, cement mixes etc. Sanding sealer protects your wood from absorbing these stains during the construction and lifecycle.
