lumber


Explanation:
According to the reference book ''Terms of the Trade'' published by Random Lengths ''full sawn'' is a term used to describe rough lumber that has been cut to full nominal size. Tolerances above the nominal size are allowed in full sawn lumber, but there is no tolerance for pieces under size at the time of manufacture. With that said, allowances in the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau grading rules for Southern Pine lumber are a bit different. If rough timber is specified, for example, Southern Pine grade rules allow a minimum 3/8-inch scant of nominal size or up to 1-inch oversize. A 6 x 6 nominal timber is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 actual dressed S4S, or surfaced four sides, but the 6 x 6 rough timber could be sized from 5 5/8 x 5 5/8 up to 7 x 7.
