I'm being lazy.
Are you saying he'll get more for selling it and buying ready made?



Probable not, but when you consider the difference between what he can
sell the lumber for verses the cost of the flooring, the time to mill
the lumber, the probable loss due to warpage/twisting and lumber defects
I don't think milling the lumber to flooring would be worthwhile.


That's kind of why I jokingly asked if this group was called, "woodworking."

Depends on what worthwhile means to each of us. None of us would do any
woodworking for ourselves if the only measurement was financial,
measuring our time against what else we could be doing with that time to
make money.

Most of us like the, "hey, I did that!" factor of woodworking. Which
leads me to a tangent for which I should probably start another subject
line....

At the woodworking show, I saw this computerized carving machine (also
at woodcraft). You put a design or scan a picture into the computer and
the machine carves it into a piece of wood. I had two immediate thought
about the results it produced.
1. It looked like crap.
B. How can anyone say "I did that?"
