Anyone help me understand what the suffixes mean on this lumber list? FB, SP, PF, AB, 1C, CH, etc... thanks.

They look like two-letter shorthand for standard lumber grades. 1C is likely #1 Common. SB is likely Select or Better. In a list like that I would have expected to see FAS (First and Seconds), so maybe FB is their version. Beyond that, I got nothing.

I speculate that "Pennsylvania CH" refers to Pennsylvania Cherry (https://lancastermill.com/pennsylvania_cherry.shtml). See also (https://www.gnhw.org/article/pennsylvania-cherry).

FAS first and seconds? I thought it was Face and Side
