This is something that baffles me no matter which way I think about it. I am making a cabinet using 4/4 s4s it measures 13/16" is this 1" pine or 3/4" (which incidentally is what my pattern calls for.)
TIA

Adjust for any size differences in the plans. It is 4/4 (1") stock that has been planed to thickness, but left 1/16" fat.

it'll be 3/4 just as soon as you run it through your surface planer. 4/4 is 13/16 actual.

13/16 was/(is?) the hardwood standard for 4/4. 3/4 is the softwood standard. Remember to adjust for difference from the plans where necessary.
