used outside.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, the bead board ended up cheaper if we had the mill work company run poplar wood through their knife, and then have the painters paint it, rather than just ordering the catalog bead board.\u00a0 Here is a big lot of it out to dry after being painted.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1057\"
