2 by 4 studs that don't twist?

[Bjudko]

I was going to assemble the frame for my glass wall this weekend and now the studs from Byggmax have twisted. Are there any 2 by 4 studs available that are dried like furniture wood? If I buy new similar studs, I assume they will twist even after they have become a frame.

My experience is that regular timber tends to twist.

It would have to be some kind of laminated timber to maintain its shape.

You can buy dried lumber, but you should still saw it down, plane it, and glue the frame pieces from two pieces that counteract each other. But sure, it might work if you find some straight 45*95 and then mount and fix them to the wall studs, preferably both at the top and bottom, i.e., some custom-built setup.

Ok might get hold of dried studs now but I'll have to saw it and glue. Do I only use regular wood glue? Should I dowel them as well? How long should they be clamped together while drying?

I would prefer to only fixate in the floor and in one wall, according to my very nice drawing below where the crosses are the attachment points I have in mind. The red line is a stud that could counteract the twists that occur in the frame but I'd prefer to avoid it.
