Jim, I was tempted to do that as well too and just rip things down on my bandsaw but I wanted to see if I could do it by hand, so far haven’t used any power tools on the workbench. That said I’m afraid my work surface might end up thinner than I’d like once I get it planed down so I might still do that.
Sven-Olof, I suspect it’s done to get sell lower quality piece of wood. The bigger the round over the more inconsistencies it covers up. I was at a more expensive home improvement store this weekend and checked out their construction grade lumber and found the cheapest stuff had a big round over and the more expensive a much smaller round over.
