At one time, sawmills cut green lumber to 2"x8". A higher-humidity board would shrink more than an dryer board, and in any case, the board would be reduced in size by planing (smoothing the rough-cut sides.)
Seems to me that the industry standardized the size of wood about 40 yeas ago. Now, sawmills calculate the size to cut so that dried and planed wood will be a standard size when dried. A 2x6 is actually 1.5 inches thick and 7.25 inches wide.

How many 2x8 in a bunk?
A standard bunk of lumber typically contains 1,000 board feet. For 2x8 lumber, which has a nominal size of 2 inches by 8 inches and an actual size of 1.5 inches by 7.25 inches, each board foot is calculated as 1.5 x 7.25 x 12 inches. Therefore, a bunk of 2x8 lumber would contain approximately 70 to 75 pieces, depending on the specific length of the boards.

What is the weight of 2 x 8 lumber?
The weight of 2x8 lumber can vary depending on the type of wood and its moisture content, but generally, a typical 2x8 board made from softwood like pine weighs about 2 to 2.5 pounds per linear foot. Therefore, an 8-foot length of 2x8 lumber would weigh approximately 16 to 20 pounds. For hardwoods, the weight may be higher. Always check specific lumber types for precise measurements.
