It’s like a 1/4lb paddy being a different right before and after cooking. They can’t tell you the final weight, since it’s always going to be different. Same with wood.

The woods final actual dimensions can vary, so they tell you its original size.

A 2x10 can be anywhere from 91/4 thick down do 83/4 depending on how it dries.
