Default One last question (today that is...) on buying rough hardwood

Swingman you get a Very loud applause. Talk about hitting the nail on the
head.....humor intended

There's no such thing as a perfect board ... and what's perfect today may
not be tomorrow. You make your money when you learn to deal with a medium
that is never in a static state.

The lesson here is that you can often make a good deal more profit on a
project by buying right and resisting being too picky.

Dropping down a grade, and overbuying at a cheaper price, may be more
profitable than picking and choosing at a higher ... not every board in a
project needs to be a "perfect" piece of wood, but, perfect or not, there
is usually a piece that's "perfect" for the job it needs to do.
