Lumber God 1x2 Furring Strip, 8 ft
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
A nominal 1x2 strip finishes at an actual 0.75 in. x 1.5 in. in 8 ft lengths. Utility strip stock is graded for serviceability rather than appearance: expect sound knots and occasional wane, cull at the saw, and buy counts accordingly. Strapped 16 in. on center it flattens almost any wall or ceiling.
