Today in class we reviewed the final.
We also went over calculating board footage for a project. The key fact to remember that the 1.5bf allowance for the toy project is based on the wood that is started with (e.g. the rough board in the lumber rack). The basic rule of thumb is that by the time the wood is 4-square and ready to glue up it is 25% smaller than than it started.
Therefore if you figure out how much wood will be in your glue up, your block can only be 1.125 bf (to have no additional cost to you).
