In the UK Lumber is sold in multiples of 0.3m which is the nearest round metric measurement to 1 ft which is 0.3048m. It is also the same for all the lumber cross sections, they are all to the nearest metric equivalent eg. 1" = 25mm. On the continent they use a completely different set of standard dimensions. So we havent really gone metric at all! Hee Hee!
