the wood industry itself is a scam, they even go so far to claim that shrinking from moisture evaporation, the cutting, and milling process is the reason a 2x4 is actually 1.5x3.5 when you go back to the 1800s and early 1900s a 2x4 was 2x4. they sell you less for a higher cost made out of cheaper material

It like a contractor said, your older growth trees are gone and all you have now is the trees that are grown quicker and breed differently, so none of it last like what was cut 40 years ago..

The pasture fence we built on a farm I lived on in the 70's still stands. The posts were untreated 3-5 inch locust trees sourced on the farm.
