Was it ever 2" x 4"?

Always was and still is here.

Always been 4 be 2 here.

I just posed the question in Australian woodwork Forums (which is full
of woodwork people and carpenters) and overwhelmingly 4x2 (only one
dissenter)

But are the actual dimensions of what you buy 4 inches by 2 inches?Â* In
my experience over 40+ of purchasing wood for DIY it has always been
smaller, albeit sold as 4x2.

Doesn't the 4x2 refer to the *sawn* size, and planed wood is always less?
