I've seen this term a few times, but never really got it. Does it mean surfaced to all but the final step, or something else? Most places I have delt with are either finished surfaced, or rough cut, so I haven't had an example.

I can't give you a dictionary defination but in my limited experience it means that the lumber has been planed and is mostly finished but there are a few areas that are not finished (below the level the lumber has been planed to). I'm not sure for the reason. Maybe because the lumber has been planed to the usual thickness, 13/16" or 3/4" and you would be able to cut around the nonfinished area's and get parts of that thickness while if they planed enough to remove all the blimishes the lumber would be too thin for some uses. Or I know some companies that sell online will skim or skip plane their rough lumber enough so that the bundle will meet shipping weight limits.

Skip planed usually refers to a surfacing that shows saw marks or marks from a planer to give a rustic look.Comment

Skip planing, sometimes referred to as hit-and-miss is taking a light cut with a planer to bring your rough stock to the same thickness. Often it's done before final drying. Some rustic furniture makers use the process to accentuate the grain (shows in the planed sections, not so much in the rough sections) of the wood against the rough sawn.Comment
