timber reeded all round
how do they cut timber with all those little grooves all the way round that are like 1mm diameter. do they laser cut it? because it obviously doesn't come from a saw blade. i've mainly seen it on like treated pine framing 90x35, 70x35, 240x35 etc
actually its like the bottom of reeded decking but smaller bumps
also why do they cut it like that is it just for looks or is there a reason
any information would be good
hopefully someone knows what i'm talking about

Know what you mean jupe, called "rougher header" (as distinct from rough sawn) or - by one supplier - "laser cut".
Dunno how it's done though, some sort of moulder I'd assumed.

Knew it had to be out there somewhere...the following was from David's Timber website here
"ROUGHER HEADER
A process which gauges timber, through a machine with serrated knives to a specified dimension, resulting in timber with a surface not as rough as unsurfaced timber but more textured than surfaced timber. Usually in constructional sizes, but there are many instances of western red cedar and Oregon clears being produced by method prior to further manufacture."
A reason for this finish type is given on Franks Fencing website
"The Rougher Headed finish is a superior finish to alternatives such as sawn or plain dressed because the microline profile helps to visually minimise minor defects."

I was told it was so it packed better at the mills... no slipage.
Why would they go the extra effort to "visually minimise minor defects" on constuction grade wood... you dont see it once its been used in building!....................................................................

I allways thought it was to help minimise the timber bowing...
