It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.
As always, it "depends" on which lumber at what mill...
Hardwood and it's relatives are graded differently from
softwoods.

That last link will allow you download the "grading rules"
To make things more interesting, most manufactured
stuff is graded an entirely different way.(plywood,mdf,etc,etc)
