end grain

It’s got these really cool floors, it’s called end grain wood.

It took extra hours of work, but each time I cut a piece of siding or a trim board, I painted the cut edge of the end grain of the wood that would butt up against another piece.

The end grain of each piece requires at least three coats of paint for ultimate protection.

The end grain is what you look at when you cut down a tree and can see the concentric growth rings.

This magic liquid, sold at home-improvement stores and elsewhere, soaks into both the end grain of treated lumber as well as the sides and edges.
