I have a question about common lumber. I am going to be building a couple of end tables. After much research I have decided on ash. I actually have enough red oak to make the tables, I am just bored with oak and do not want to use it.
The sawmill I am purchasing from lists their lumber as clear and common. The difference in price is $1.00 per board foot.
Can anybody explain or provide pictures on the main differences in this lumber. When I asked the mill, they simply said the common will have a few more knots, which is essentially my understanding of the difference, along with what width the lumber is cut in to.
Has anybody built smaller projects out of common lumber?
Thanks for helping the new guy once again!
