How much is too much?
Buddy of mine wants to build Norm's Cypress bench
http://www.newyankee.com/getphoto2.cgi?1203.jpg So we went to the local store and they have some 8/4 Cypress with a few knots roughly 8" and 8' long. He tells us it is $5.80 BF, we thank him and head back to work. I whip out my handy dandy BF calculator (OK MS Excel) calculate how much, add 20% for miscuts and knots, add the 7% for or non-seatbelt wearing governor and get ~$400. Does $5.80 sound right for Cypress? I can't find an online price without placing an order. |
