Just to clarify this a bit...
Generally we call it SURFACED and ROUGH. Finished was a term that was often
associated with finished goods such as siding, profiles or mouldings.
Surfaced was material that came from the saw mill went through a
planner in the planning mill to a nominal size (dressed is a common term) ,
green or dried (both different dimensions) with a set of specifications that
were met and when done correctly it was considered "on grade" and if not they
were "off grade". These specifications were standards set by the American Lumber
Standards or ALS in the U.S. The standards were very specific in many regards to
meet a specific grade of lumber.
Rough was a term for dimensionally sawn/milled lumber with a rough or
sized texture to a dimension close to full width and thickness. Rough sawn
lumber can in all sizes from lath to timber.

Eventually all things merge into one and a river runs through
it.
