Furring strips can be any material, plywood, 2x4, 2x6.
I think people are getting stuck on the 2x2 fitting strips being the only type of furring strip, which isn’t the case. You can just use 2x2s in this case, and there is a specific product called furring strips to use for furring or whatever else you want.

Good to know, thank you for sharing!
Closest I ever got to construction work like that was working for about a year as a residential painter, and sometimes would work alongside other contractors.
I really need to make woodworking/carpentry my next thing to learn about, 0lenty of places in my house could use the work.
