Finger jointed stock is often continuous at first and then cut to length.
The profiling would come later.

Finger jointed stock uses all the wood after cutting out the knots.

OK, paint me a picture.  The finished trim is say, 1" x 4" by 10' or 12'.
I've got that.   But what was the dimension before milling?   1 foot x 4" by
10' or 12', then split to 12 separate boards, then milled to profile?
