Hi Curtis A standard cut 1" X 10" is now 3/4" X 9 1/2". Many beekeepers ??? use this size to make brood boxes with as it is less expensive than buying a 1" X 12" (3/4" X 11 1/2") In our area it causes no problems (We only use one deep brood box and one shallow super under the excluder anyway.) The extra depth is over the bottom board and causes no problems.
