Manufacturing Grades
Manufacturing or cutting grades for reprocessing to produce shorter clear lengths with excellent machining, and gluing properties.
These grades contain large knots and blemishes which are removed by cross-cutting and ripping.
The resulting clear components are often finger-jointed and edge-glued to produce mouldings and furniture.

Structural grades or framing grades are used primarily for construction where strength and stiffness are important. The main factor influencing a structural grade is the size and location of knots. Grades limit such defects to meet specified strength requirements.
