And, your example of Home Depot also falls short. Board width has

That's garbage Dave, as long as I've been buying wood, the width of
lumber has been the same. A 2x6 is 5.5 inches, same as it was then. A
1x8 is 7 1/4, same as it was then. You don't know what your talking
about, or your HD is ripping you off.

I've rarely had need for 2x6 but time was when a 2x4 was 1 5/8 x 3 5/8.
Now, 1 1/2 x 3 1/2.

As far as quality goes, things like clear, edge grain fir were readily
available at decent prices (in the west at least). FAS hardwoods too. That
was pre-Home Depot.
