QUOTE(BraindeadSquire @ May 28 2020, 02:34 PM) Hmm, as long as the wood quality good I don't really mind the price (as long as not too expensive la). s4s is just that, surfaced all 4 sides. Ya, I agree, the timber trading uncle from my place also claim his balau S4S and dry. But when I eye down got warp and thickness not same also... (Is that common?) when you cut cross section, its in proper rectangular shape. but doesnt mean its straight or not twisted. s4s balau, dont trust it. vomit blood from previous purchase. had to change the timber twice. cos twisted from end to end. s4s nyatoh still ok, usually those are sold in molding shops (selling architrave). very straight even for 8-10ft lengths. costs $$$... |
