Terminology Tuesday … let’s make it a thing!
A couple weeks ago we touched on common Cedar and Lumber terms, let’s keep that going.
This week: STK
A short confession, when I first saw STK on a tag, I thought it meant stick 😅
STK stands for Select Tight Knot. It’s a knotty cedar grade with small, sound knots that are naturally part of the board’s grain, giving you that warm rustic character people love.
STK is a great choice for projects where you want texture and personality: tongue & groove ceilings, accent walls, siding and garden beds.
If Clear Cedar is a tailored suit, STK is your favorite flannel.
