Default Wood measurements

It sounds to me like the 1/2" wood was mislabeled.

If you're looking for a piece of wood 3/4" thick, you should be buying
1" stock (sometimes called 4/4). They plane off exactly 1/4", leaving
you with 3/4".

Maybe that was it. I bought 1" wood and it matched the 3/4 plywood.
Just dont know why it was labelled like that. I got it mostly at lowes.
