To help the homeowner in purchasing lumber, this circular describes the properties of wood, and the grades and uses of lumber for houses and lawn accessories. (It is assumed that lumber will be used in accordance with good building techniques.) Emphasis is given to the softwoods since these are used most for construction; the hardwoods are generally remanufactured into items such as flooring and furniture.
