is 1 x 6 x 16, wood can vary in size from ¾-7/8” x
5-3/4 to 5-7/8” x 16. In rare cases, very old wood
can be ½” thick but this wood is not sold unless
CWI has prior approval from the customer.
2. Wood is 100% natural, aged only by the extreme elements of
Wyoming weather
3. Moisture content is less than 10% as a result of the persistent
wind source in Wyoming
4. As a result of low moisture content, it is not necessary
to kiln dry the wood
5. The wood has not been painted, etc. so no wire brush finishing
is necessary

11. Cupping and Warping is minimal
12. Quality of the raw wood renders minimal knots
13. Delivered wood will not have bent-over nails. For an upcharge, CWI will remove all nails.

during shipment
