Air dried disclaimer

Unless otherwise noted, all wood sold by Lively Lumber—whether air-dried or kiln-dried—has typically been properly dried and is suitable for woodworking applications. However, air-dried wood has not been kiln sterilized and may include natural characteristics such as sap/pitch (particularly in resinous species such as pine) or bug holes (which could potentially contain or have previously contained bugs).

Customers who are concerned about these characteristics may consider the following options before use:

- kiln drying, such as through a local provider like Urban Lumber LA

- wood-safe pesticide treatment

- filling bug holes with epoxy or wood filler as part of the finishing process

All air-dried wood is sold as-is. By purchasing air-dried material from Lively Lumber, you acknowledge and accept these potential characteristics and associated risks.
