I could have had beech. There's a fair bit of 2" beech around,

Your post provides me with yet another opportunity to display my
ever growing ignorance...

Is wood generally sold by the cubit foot?

If sold in metric sizes, what are the most common nominal/actual
dimensions?


A board foot is simply another, less generally understood, volumetric
measure, is it not?
