So there we were one day minding our own business in woodworkers supply and this jumped out and hit me.
front
back and a piece of Bocote I cut.
However, I dont think I will go back there anymore. I don't know alot about how others measure board feet for charges. But when a board measures 9x38 1/16 (mattering on how you do your tape and where) and you get charged for a board that is 10x39 (they say they round up). It bothers me a little. Hastur (Robert my brother) was with me, he purchased some Canary wood. They measured 5x72 and 5x73. He got charged 5.25x73 and 5.25x74? So I asked the manager on the phone. Do you always cut your boards 1/16th over so you can round up to the next inch? He gave me no respone.
So my question is cutting like that common practice?
