What MC do you think is acceptable to sell slabs at?

Trying to get customers to understand or measure board feet is like trying to explain nuclear particle physics to them.  I have it spelled out on my webpage, I explain it to them in person, and they still say "I just don't get the whole board foot thing." Then I realize that many of them can't do basic multiplication, or the ones that can, get "brain lock."  I had a guy yesterday ask me how many board feet were in a 3'x7' table top and I said well, "Multiply 3 x 7, how much is that?" and the answer from the customer was "I don't do math."

Yes, you are probably correct. As a corollary to this, I have this poster conveniently located at my place near the board foot explanation/illustration. A fair assumption is that, if someone is drilling down on board foot:cost, the need to come to the "Lowest Bidder" altar for some learning isn't far behind.  ;D :D

Ironic that he grasped dollar value yet advocated for the welfare state and had a communist colony named after him.

And a high school from which I graduated in 1966.  Now if I make a grammatical mistake or miscalculate I can blame that no good commie.

I vote we topple Ruskin High School!

I still like PA_Walnuts quote.

I sawed 83 slabs yesterday morning for 3 customers.  Most from small short rescue logs.  A lot are going to resin artists for wall art.  Some are drying right, most are not.  Anything less than 12% works with resin, but at that high of MC in a few months the wood shrinks and the resin doesn't.....what was art becomes garage sale material.
