What is the best wood to use for shutters?
1 Answer
Cedarwood was a popular choice for shutters in the past due to its resilience to harsh weather conditions, insects and rot. Nowadays, basswood is preferred because it is light and flexible, making it a good choice for different designs. Find a collection of antique and vintage window shutters on 1stDibs.
