dimensions of a 2x8 piece of wood?

Question

also a 1x8 , and 1x4

Answer 1

It does vary slightly around the country. Most mill do belong to some sort of grading organization, which tells you these size dressed lumber needs to be. My company belongs to NELMA (Northeast Lumbermans Association). By Nelma standards a dry piece of 2" x 8" should be dressed to 1 1/2" x 7 1/4", but a green piece (not dry) is dressed to 1 9/16" x 7 1/2". A 1" x 8" dry is 3/4" x 7 1/4" and green 3/4" x 7 1/2". A 1" x 4" dry is 3/4" x 3 1/2" and green 3/4" x 3 9/16".

Answer 4

2x8 Dimensions

Answer 5

2x8 = 1 1/2 x 7 1/4
1x8 = 3/4 x 7 1/4
1x4 = 3/4 x 3 1/2

Answer 6

It depends on which mill the lumberyard gets. each mill is different it will range anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2 in on each way so you could end up with a 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 by 7-1/2 to 7-3/4.

Answer 7

2x8 Lumber

Answer 8

2x8 Dimensional lumber is 1.5" x 7.25"
1x8 is .75" x 7.25"
1x4 is .75 x 3.5"

Answer 9

If the timber is 'unplaned' they will be 2" x 8" , 1" x 8" , and 1" x 4"

To get a smooth surface every face is planed to take approximately 1/8" of so that you deduct 1/4" from each dimension for smooth wood. so your dimensions will be 1.75" x 7.75" , 0.75" x 7.75" and 0.75" x 3.75"

Answer 10

the size is the size it was off the tree,, a 2x8 is planed 1/4 inch on every side, making the final size 1.5x7.5
