Special pre-curved 2x4 at Home Depot

[Number_35]

Depending on what you're building, this might be useful ...

Would work perfect in my old house !!!

To the average builder these days that'd be a perfectly acceptable stud.

 

[JavierH19]

Though hideous a builder can still use that as a stud and the home would be structurally sound.

I'd love to see the drywall.

they'll cut into small pieces in the end most likely

Well more so for the attic as trusses where they're the farthest from view. They select what to where. I remember my job being sorting out brick to where the worse ones were to be used at the top back or sides of the house where they're least seen and to fill in the broken edges better with mortar when I worked in home building. Remember seeing crappy wood they made do with.

have you checked out home depot's competitors 2x 4 's? those look great compared to the other big box store ...lol... I went a week ago to get some 2x4's and they should be hung at high noon for even trying to sell that junk.

I think that's a bit much, even for Norm Abrham

Boat builders like that stuff ,if it was teak or something rot resistant

 

[64bawagon]

I think those are used on those geodesic dome style houses

Typical Home-Depot quality……..just think, someone loaded that into the rack and said “Good enough!”.
A sad example of the work ethic today

(edit: My assumption was Home Depot, but insert any brand store and my opinion doesn’t change)

Same at Lowe’s or anywhere with commodity 2x4s.

It probably was nearly straight in the bundle

Mine wait until later worse are the 4x4 posts as they dry

 

[doitmyself]

Don't blame me! The seedlings I grow and outplant are straight. What happens 40 + years later is on someone else. I can relate to how that 2 x 4 feels.............last one to be picked for the team, or maybe not picked at all.

Almost perfect for oxen yoke making!

Nice work on the camera angle to get the curves to pop out, but imo, good for firewood at this point.
And poor firewood to be sure.

Lumber today seems more like balsa wood. Virgin pine lumber is twice as dense. Have you ever drove nails in in dried virgin pine lumber?

Ain't easy

 

[SuperSalad]

I don't see the problem.
