Does anyone use strapping to bundle lumber or slabs? If so what kind would work the best and also be economical.Also would this help prevent warping when air drying lumber.
I started with steel, but the clips were not adjustable, and the metal caused rust up against the wood. I now use plastic with buckles that can be retentioned. I have both. I have some stainless steel that is highly tension able, but expensive for utility grade. three kinds of tensioners, but a variety of stock banding. best to have a cart to organize. I can get details later. I patterned the plastic stuff after what Jake @customsawyer (https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=1861) used in 2018 at the sawing project.
I guess I should have did a search.Saw I bunch of posts where you all discussed this in the past.Thanks for answering.I'm learning slowly but surely :laugh:
