Good morning
A few years ago, I dabbled in woodworking. Nothing fancy or advanced, just simple items as a hobby.
Having said that - I need some guidance:
If using dimensional lumber for building, is it best to purchase 2x6s to then rip down and get a better board, rather than trying to find decent 2x4 or 2x3s (not warped, Bowes, etc.)?
I do have a table saw. I am looking into making some simple patio furniture, and instead of just using 2x4s off the rack, I’m curious if the extra effort and cost is worth ripping down 2x6s.
