nice dano, this kind of repetitive work takes alot of patience nicely done. i agree with you on the prem studs, its all i buy, and they are usually fir, which is alot better than the spruce studs

They have a pinkish color vs the white studs which I think looks better too. I don’t know the species though.

thats fir, they run straighter and are alittle harder than the spruce studs. alot of ext wood doors are made of fir.
Mondo, did you get yours sanded yet? It has been years since I played Jenga, but I remember there was always a few you could tap out really easy and others were much harder to move. On the first set I used 150 grit and my ROS 5″ sander, but I noticed I only had one that would slip out easily. I am trying to decide whether this is normal for the 2×4 set considering the weight or if I need to sand the other sets down more. I have a couple belt sanders I could use or maybe I need to drop down to 80 grit on my 5″? They look good with the 150 and I was able to round the edges and get all the labeling off of them.
Unfortunately it was raining all weekend here and wasn’t able to sand them. I plan on sanding all sides the help with this. Probably start with the 80 and see how that works out.

I sanded every side smooth, but I am going to try to do a better job on the next set and see if it makes a difference.We had snow and temps down in the teens over the weekend so I didn’t get anything done on Sat or Sun. Gotta love Ohio weather…

Absolutely
