I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you’d think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

    You’d think so, but no.
    Short story is the ‘nominal’ size is the size before going into a planer to smooth the faces.
    Yes, it makes little sense, like many things related to construction stuff.

      Yeah sorry. The tree was originally 50ft tall so we call the pieces that. But you only get 3ft

      Is like buying 1200lbs steaks because that’s what the cow weighs before it gets parted
