Grades

Supreme -- Available in most species, this grade is manufactured with a clear face. This grade may contain occasional small knots or minor characteristics that do not detract from the overall appearance. The grade is the finest in quality and the ultimate in appearance. Supreme is for use where appearance is more important than budget.

Decorative -- Available in all species, this grade contains sound knots and natural wood characteristics. Occasional pieces may contain chipped edge knots, short end splits or seasoning checks, and pin holes. The most widely used grade, it is well suited to most applications.

Service -- Available on inquiry, this rustic grade is recommended for industrial applications where strength is more important than appearance. This grade allows face knotholes, stain, end splits, skip, roller split, planer burn and other non-strength reducing characteristics.
