The first are called "rough cut" and the second "dimensional". Most "home center" type stores only sell dimensional. I usually buy rough cut from a local saw mill. Keep in mind though that there is a reason the extra wood is shaved off, and only use rought cut if that isn't going to cause trouble or if you're willing to do the shaving yourself if you need to. ****************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, (978) 742-9014. #1 PIC consultant in 2004 program year. http://www.embedinc.com/products -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
