When you say one inch wide, do you mean one of the twelve things in a foot, or one of the two things in the width of a 2x4?

- yojo 3y agoI believe you’re referring to “nominal” vs “actual” size. For anyone who doesn’t know, a 2x4 is actually ~1.5”x3.5” Dimensional lumber is the original shrinkflator
- derekp7 3y agoJust like a quarter pound burger is 1/4 lb before cooking.
- BoiledCabbage 3y agoThe "smallest dimension is 1". So in a 10ft long 2x4 it would be the actual size of a 2x4 (1.5"x3.5"x10'). A standard board foot would be (1"x12"x12"), or any other math that makes up the same volume.
