Title of the message: |
Curious... Question about softwood lumber grades...
|
Text of the message: |
Just replaced the rotted and broken wooden handles of a wheelbarrow with ready-made new ones. In addition, I also replaced two "wedge" shaped wood pieces which go between the handles and the metal 'tub'. In looking for suitable lumber to cut these wedges out of, I assumed it should be hardwood (as opposed to softwood), for strength, durability, etc. I went to the hardwood craft section at HomeDepot, but could not find any hardwood boards of the necessary minimum dimensions (i.e. nothing as large as 2x4). But right in the midst of the hardwood selections, I noticed 4 foot lengths of fir 2x4 which looked and felt much sturdier than the full length fir 2x4s sold in the main lumber aisle.. The price was also about 6 times greater (per lineal foot)! After probing it a bit with my pocket knife, my reasoned intuition told me that this hardier softwood was probably what the wheelbarrow handles |
