Canadian Lumber Standards


It refers to a type of constructional timber which is planed to a
degree and has the sharp corners relieved slightly.

The cover story is that it is to reduce the rate of spread of fire
(because of less rough, air trapping surface.

Personally I think it was because the pussies in the U.S. construction
industry were getting too many splinters.
