In a list of instructions to build a table, I found the following expression:
two-by-three, 8’ (actual cross-section = 1-1/2” by 2-1/2”)
How could this be translated?
two-by-three, 8’ (actual cross-section = 1-1/2” by 2-1/2”)
How could this be translated?

In the Americas, two-bys (2×4s, 2×6s, 2×8s, 2×10s, and 2×12s), along with the 4×4, are common lumber sizes used in modern construction. They are the basic building block for such common structures as balloon-frame or platform-frame housing. Dimensional lumber made from softwood is typically used for construction, while hardwood boards are more commonly used for making cabinets or furniture.
