The lumber grades in this category are intended for applications
where strength is not the primary consideration. Grading is by visual
inspection and is a judgment of appearance and suitability to end use
rather than of strength. Natural characteristics and manufacturing
imperfections are taken into account in the assigning of grades.
Lumber in this category is often generically referred to as Board
lumber, although the category also includes run-to-pattern products
and Patio Decking. The highest grades of Appearance lumber are
seldom gradestamped, unless on the back or ends, as the grade
stamp would deface the product. The general purpose grades, such
as COMMONS and ALTERNATE BOARDS, are generally stamped.
Refer to page 20 for additional information on grade stamps, moisture
content and specifying Appearance lumber.
Many of the Western lumber species are grown, harvested, manu-
factured and shipped together in ‘‘Marketing Categories.’’ In addition
to the species combinations that share like structural characteristics,
Board lumber is often available in combinations related to like appear-
ance characteristics. Refer to the Marketing Categories species list on
page 4 and the WWPA Western Lumber Grading Rules for additional
information.
The grades and recommended end uses for Appearance lumber
are explained in Table 14. Standard sizes are explained in Table 15.
Refer to page 19 for information on the Radius-edged Patio Decking
grades.
BOARD LUMBER
Grades/End Uses - Select grades are determined from the better
side or face and are used for applications where only the finest
appearance is appropriate. B & BTR is virtually clear and very limited in
availability. The appearance of C SELECT ranks only slightly less than
B & BTR SELECT. D SELECT is suitable where the requirements for
finishing are less exacting.
Finish grades are determined from the better side or face and from
both edges on pieces 5" and narrower and from the better side or face
and one edge on pieces 6" and wider. SUPERIOR is virtually clear.
PRIME grade exhibits fine appearance although slightly less restrictive
than SUPERIOR. E grade is intended for ripping and cross-cutting to
obtain small pieces of PRIME or better quality.
The highest quality, premium cedar grades are typically run-to-
pattern into siding or paneling products and may be graded to either
the surfaced or a saw-textured side. CLEAR VG HEART is intended for
use where only the highest quality is indicated. The exposed width is
all heartwood and free from imperfections. A grade allows only minor
imperfections and is of fine appearance. Square-edged cedar boards
are generally manufactured in SELECT grades.
Common Board grades are determined from the better face and are
varying qualities of knotty material. 1 and 2 COMMON are usually sold
as 2 & BTR COMMON and intended for paneling, shelving and other
uses where a fine appearance in knotty material is desirable. 3 COM-
MON is also widely used for siding, paneling and shelving as well as
for fences, boxes, crating, sheathing and industrial applications.
4 COMMON is used for general construction such as subfloors, roof
and wall sheathing, concrete forms, low-cost fencing and crating.
5 COMMON is intended for economy-governed applications.
Alternate Board grades are determined from the better face.
SELECT MERCHANTABLE is intended for use in housing and light
construction where it is exposed as paneling, shelving and where
knotty type lumber of fine appearance is desirable. CONSTRUCTION is
used for spaced sheathing, let-in bracing, fences, boxes, crating and
industrial applications. The uses for STANDARD are similar to a 4
COMMON, as described above.
Special Western Red Cedar general purpose grades (SELECT KNOT-
TY or QUALITY KNOTTY) are similar in appearance to 2 COMMON and
3 COMMON, and are widely used for siding and landscape applications.
Knot size and quality are defined in the grading rules; sound, tight knots
do not adversely affect performance. Dry knotty siding must not exceed
19% moisture content and it may be specified to MC15 or KD15. Knotty
siding also is sometimes manufactured unseasoned.
RUN-TO-PATTERN PRODUCTS
Board lumber is the starting material for many products that are run-
to-pattern, such as paneling, siding, flooring, ceiling and partition
material. In many cases, the grade of the material that has been run-
to-pattern reflects the grade of the starting material, adhering to similar
requirements for allowable characteristics.
Refer to WWPA’s Natural Wood Siding-Technical Guide (TG-8) for
comprehensive information on WWPA and WCLIB siding grades,
patterns, specification and installation. Refer to WWPA’s Standard
Patterns (G-16) for paneling, flooring, ceiling, partition (and siding)
patterns in profile with dimensions. Contact the Wood Moulding and
Millwork Producers Association (www.wmmpa.com) for moulding
and trim patterns in profile.

WWPA Appearance Grading

  • 1. 18 The lumber grades in this category are intended for applications where strength is not the primary consideration. Grading is by visual inspection and is a judgment of appearance and suitability to end use rather than of strength. Natural characteristics and manufacturing imperfections are taken into account in the assigning of grades. Lumber in this category is often generically referred to as Board lumber, although the category also includes run-to-pattern products and Patio Decking. The highest grades of Appearance lumber are seldom gradestamped, unless on the back or ends, as the grade stamp would deface the product. The general purpose grades, such as COMMONS and ALTERNATE BOARDS, are generally stamped. Refer to page 20 for additional information on grade stamps, moisture content and specifying Appearance lumber. Many of the Western lumber species are grown, harvested, manu- factured and shipped together in ‘‘Marketing Categories.’’ In addition to the species combinations that share like structural characteristics, Board lumber is often available in combinations related to like appear- ance characteristics. Refer to the Marketing Categories species list on page 4 and the WWPA Western Lumber Grading Rules for additional information. The grades and recommended end uses for Appearance lumber are explained in Table 14. Standard sizes are explained in Table 15. Refer to page 19 for information on the Radius-edged Patio Decking grades. BOARD LUMBER Grades/End Uses - Select grades are determined from the better side or face and are used for applications where only the finest appearance is appropriate. B & BTR is virtually clear and very limited in availability. The appearance of C SELECT ranks only slightly less than B & BTR SELECT. D SELECT is suitable where the requirements for finishing are less exacting. Finish grades are determined from the better side or face and from both edges on pieces 5" and narrower and from the better side or face and one edge on pieces 6" and wider. SUPERIOR is virtually clear. PRIME grade exhibits fine appearance although slightly less restrictive than SUPERIOR. E grade is intended for ripping and cross-cutting to obtain small pieces of PRIME or better quality. The highest quality, premium cedar grades are typically run-to- pattern into siding or paneling products and may be graded to either the surfaced or a saw-textured side. CLEAR VG HEART is intended for use where only the highest quality is indicated. The exposed width is all heartwood and free from imperfections. A grade allows only minor imperfections and is of fine appearance. Square-edged cedar boards are generally manufactured in SELECT grades. Common Board grades are determined from the better face and are varying qualities of knotty material. 1 and 2 COMMON are usually sold as 2 & BTR COMMON and intended for paneling, shelving and other uses where a fine appearance in knotty material is desirable. 3 COM- MON is also widely used for siding, paneling and shelving as well as for fences, boxes, crating, sheathing and industrial applications. 4 COMMON is used for general construction such as subfloors, roof and wall sheathing, concrete forms, low-cost fencing and crating. 5 COMMON is intended for economy-governed applications. Alternate Board grades are determined from the better face. SELECT MERCHANTABLE is intended for use in housing and light construction where it is exposed as paneling, shelving and where knotty type lumber of fine appearance is desirable. CONSTRUCTION is used for spaced sheathing, let-in bracing, fences, boxes, crating and industrial applications. The uses for STANDARD are similar to a 4 COMMON, as described above. Special Western Red Cedar general purpose grades (SELECT KNOT- TY or QUALITY KNOTTY) are similar in appearance to 2 COMMON and 3 COMMON, and are widely used for siding and landscape applications. Knot size and quality are defined in the grading rules; sound, tight knots do not adversely affect performance. Dry knotty siding must not exceed 19% moisture content and it may be specified to MC15 or KD15. Knotty siding also is sometimes manufactured unseasoned. RUN-TO-PATTERN PRODUCTS Board lumber is the starting material for many products that are run- to-pattern, such as paneling, siding, flooring, ceiling and partition material. In many cases, the grade of the material that has been run- to-pattern reflects the grade of the starting material, adhering to similar requirements for allowable characteristics. Refer to WWPA’s Natural Wood Siding-Technical Guide (TG-8) for comprehensive information on WWPA and WCLIB siding grades, patterns, specification and installation. Refer to WWPA’s Standard Patterns (G-16) for paneling, flooring, ceiling, partition (and siding) patterns in profile with dimensions. Contact the Wood Moulding and Millwork Producers Association (www.wmmpa.com) for moulding and trim patterns in profile.
