wood grading

Wood grading is a system that evaluates the quality of lumber based on its strength, appearance, and defects. It helps buyers and builders select appropriate wood for different projects by categorizing boards according to factors like knots, splits, and surface flaws. Higher grades indicate fewer imperfections and better appearance, making them suitable for visible or structural use, while lower grades may have more defects but are often used where appearance isn't critical, such as framing. Overall, grading ensures consistency and reliability in wood quality, supporting informed decision-making in construction and carpentry.
