Size approximate.

All sizes do vary!

     Annular ring width is the most important feature, with attention to the vertical cut (quartersawn) being 90 degrees.  A tolerance of 15 degrees to 75 degrees may occur as the cut moves to the outer wider side.  Eveness varies in most species, the tighter lines being stiffer.
     Straightness over the length affects the grade.  Color varies with most species, yellow cedar being an exception. Yellow Cedar is consistent in it hue.
