What to order, what you actually get, and whether it will hold
What to order, what you actually get, and whether it will hold. Grades and their clear yields, rough against surfaced and what you pay for the difference, and then the part every order sheet guesses at: how much lumber your actual cut list needs once the parts have to come out of real boards of real lengths. One plain table wants 24 board feet from 12-foot boards and 32 from 8-foot ones — the same parts, a third more lumber, and the choice costs nothing. Then moisture targets, span limits, and finishing. 10 pages, printable, with a fill-in cut list, order sheet and project record.
