I've never got the hang of when timber is going to be the size you ask
for and when it will be smaller, due to the method of sizing the
unfinished product. And it seems to vary around the UK. This never
mattered before.

Basically sawn wood should be the size quoted. Planed wood starts out as
sawn and varies slightly according to how much is needed to be planed off
to get it smooth.

So constructional timber should be to the dimensions quoted.
