Any woodworkers out there? (OT)

2000-06-05 by Nathan Alan Hunsicker

Hi, I've been shopping around for wood prices to built a cabinet for my
MOTM. Now that I have the final plans ready, I need to find the right
wood for the cabinet. I've been calling suppliers and giving them the
sizes that I need and getting prices right from them. The problem I'm
having is that I've gotten a few mailings on wood prices, however the
way the prices are listed is greek to me. Obviously I can figure out
lumber type, but I don't know what FAS or #1C stands for. There is also
a designation before the wood some say 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4. 12/4 16/4, is
this thickness? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks -Nate
