The nominal length of wood refers to the standardized measurement used to describe lumber sizes before it is processed and finished. It is typically rounded to the nearest whole number, such as 2x4 or 2x6, but does not account for the actual dimensions after drying and planing, which are usually smaller. For example, a nominal 2x4 usually measures about 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches in actual size. The nominal length can also refer to the specified length of a board, often measured in feet or inches.

Is the nominal or actual size of a board used to calculate board feet?
The nominal size of a board is used to calculate board feet, not the actual size. Nominal dimensions refer to the board's rough-cut measurements, typically expressed in inches (e.g., 2x4), while the actual size is smaller due to milling (e.g., a 2x4 actually measures about 1.5x3.5 inches). To calculate board feet, you multiply the nominal dimensions and the length of the board in feet, using the formula: (Thickness in inches × Width in inches × Length in feet) / 12.

What is the measurement of wood?
The measurement of wood can refer to various dimensions, primarily including length, width, thickness, and volume. Lumber is often measured in board feet, which is a unit that represents a volume of wood equal to 1 foot long by 1 foot wide by 1 inch thick. Additionally, wood may be sold in standardized sizes, such as 2x4 or 1x6, indicating the nominal dimensions before drying and planing. Other measurements may include moisture content, density, and weight, which are important for assessing wood's performance and suitability for specific applications.
Why is a 4x4 actually 3.5x3.5?
A 4x4, when referred to in the context of lumber or wood dimensions, is actually 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches due to the process of milling. The nominal dimensions (like 4x4) are the size before the wood is dried and planed, which reduces its size. This standardization helps with ease of identification and purchasing, but the finished product is smaller than the nominal size.
