WHAT IS LOST LUMBER?
"Lost Lumber” has a different definition depending on who you ask. For some, it’s a species no longer found in the forest. For others, it’s the way that wood is milled or sized. Woodworking styles, profiles and craftsmanship employed in decades or centuries past.

SIZE STANDARDIZATION
"The ubiquitous lumber product known as the 2x4 does not, in fact, measure two inches thick by four inches wide. The naming of this building material is the result of compromise between forestry technology, species’ properties, forest composition, transportation efficiency, construction speed, and price competition. To accurately reflect its dimensions, the 2x4 should be renamed the 1½ x 3½.”
