Proper Lumber Storage
Improper handling of your lumber products can cost you time and money. By properly handling your lumber when it arrives, you can protect its appearance, and control the product's moisture content. Rapid or uneven moisture change can result in warping, staining and eventual shrinkage. Air temperatures also play a role. Hot, humid air causes wood to quickly absorb moisture.
To best control the moisture of your lumber, it should never be stored on the ground. It should always be covered with lumber wrap. Avoid moving lumber when it is raining. Always keep lumber on dunnage so that air can circulate under the pile. Interior products such as paneling should be stored inside, and allowed to acclimate. Never store lumber in a room with fresh concrete or drywall. Wood products should acclimate for at least one week before application.
Hamilton Grange National Memorial is a National Park Service site in New York City that preserves the early 19th-century home of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. The Hamilton Grange was built in 1802 and has been relocated twice over the past two centuries.The most recent relocation placed the Grange in St. Nicholas Park where it is being restored to its original design. Feuer Lumber had the opportunity to manufacture the handrail for the main staircase inside the home.
In the photo to the left, Greg Law, senior preservation specialist with the National Park Service, works on the re-constructed banister of the staircase at the Grange. While much of the staircase is original to the house, the stairs were reconfigured to a new shape following the Grange's first move in 1889 and pieces of it were altered to accommodate the new configuration and other pieces were lost. In restoring the staircase to its original shape, the restoration team was able to incorporate some of the original, but altered pieces back into the finished stairs. We are excited to contribute to this project and can't wait to see the Hamilton Grange when it has been fully restored.
