tkstaub | Posted in General Discussion on

I am a CTE teacher and I am looking for a good resource for teaching students about reading lumber stamps.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It might be too simple but, google the following:

    lumber grade stamps explained

    And first up should be western wood products association.

    This old house was the second.

    Best of luck.
