What kind of fasteners should I use?

How should I store the stripwood?

Store it in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or damage.

Is this wood suitable for contact with food?

Troubleshooting

Wood is splitting when cutting.

Use a finer-toothed saw blade and cut slowly. Pre-drilling holes for screws can also prevent splitting.

Wood warps after installation.

Ensure the wood is stored properly before use and is adequately supported during and after installation. Use appropriate fixings and consider the environmental conditions.

Prepare the surface by sanding it smooth before applying the finish. Apply thin, even coats of paint or stain.
