Several weeks ago we were at our local Restore, and they had a wood size
I have never seen before. This material was 3/4 X 5/16, similar
dimensions to standard Screen Door Molding, BUT with square not rounded edges.
It was $0.50 /ft and I bought about 80 ft.
My question is the material something new on the market, that is not
carried by local stores, OR is it overrun from a special order by contractor.
I use a lot of screen door molding in making picture frames and this new item give a slight different look to the picture frames.

Species? Lengths? (just curious)
A few years ago I pick up a bunch of Douglas Fir at a moving sale. It was left over
from when the post and beam house was built and was apparently cut incorrectly.
I don't recall if the owner bought it from the builder or the builder gave it to him.
The homeowner was a hobbyist woodworker and had a nice shop in the basement.
This is some of what I bought:

A lot of it was used to build a full size bed for my daughter:

Maybe your stuff wasn't an "overrun", maybe it was a "mistake" like my purchase was.

Yep. Many possible scenarios for finding unusual sizes of material.
Many years ago, over a few beers, a buddy told me he had some
walnut sticks collecting dust in his shed so I bought $ 20. worth -
~ 2 - 3 wheelbarrows full - and used them for odd jobs and small projects for 20 years. They were from a furniture factory -
- 3 1/2 feet long 2 3/4 x 1 1/4 dry and straight.

I used it all in making picture frames today, it gives the frame a
different look. (with a half dozen different shaped router bits you are >always looking for ways to make them different.)
I was down at the lumber store the other day and they had 1.5" sizes
that could be ripped, to get the 3/4" size. However as thin as it is, I
am not sure I want to try to rip it.
Would this be something that would be used in the installation of a
knotty pine wall, ie spline between the panels?
Thanks for responding.

Good guess .. I helped a buddy rip those - many years ago.I as I replied above it is probably pine. It is definitely not cedar.
.. for each 2 strips 1 went in saw dust ..
.. then all the long skinny strips were routered for
bead & cove ... gotta love what you do ..
The finished product was something to behold -
not a canoe that I would ever bang off the rocks ..
