4 x 4 inch unsorted redwood question

[LeeAkeroyd]

That's it! Was at the back of my mind all the time.
Next question - does it mean a particular process e.g. actual splitting green wood rather than sawing? Which could make sense as it would take the stress out of it before sawing straight cuts of long pieces.
PS a quick google shows it widely available and seems to be all 100mm square. Also called "green split centre free"
n.b. this is the ideal size and material for woodwork bench legs, amongst other things.

Jacob, apologies I was rushing and should have typed centre not heart free. Yes the product is cut to size at the mill removing the centre (pith) and then kiln dried. As opposed to the old days where we convert 100x200mm or 100x225mm.

He doesn't need the long straight lengths for table legs, so I guess he'd be using 9x4 or 8x4 cut down the middle which would be a good bit cheaper than "green split heart free".

Whatever he uses it's near perfect and completely free of pith.
