dimensional lumber
Milled construction wood
Dimensional lumber is wood that has been cut and planed to standardized widths and thicknesses, ready for construction use.
The nominal dimensions differ from actual measurements—a two-by-four actually measures about 1.5 by 3.5 inches after milling and drying.
We picked up some dimensional lumber for the deck frame.
