What is "nominal" wood.
A 2x4 is really 3.5 x 1.5 inches. Its nominal dimension is 2x4. Its actual dimensions are smaller. |

Except that 5/4 supposedly is actually 1.25". If I buy 6/4 pine, it is 1.5". 5/4 pine I think is still 1.25". But I bought 5/4 cedar deck boards. They were 1". A bit of a rip off considering that the quarter measurements are meant to be actual measurements. |
