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.

    The convention is 2" before milling. Milling takes off 1/4"on each side, so the result is 1.5".

      Why was that ever accepted? I don’t care what size it was before milling. If I buy a 2x2 I want a 2x2.

      Is this a joke? (I know it isn’t).

      Why would I want to know the dimensions of the unfinished product? I’m not a construction worker, so honestly is there any reason?

        I can only think it was when the lumber mill was the dictator of terms. That’s what they put out, so that’s what it was.
