| Wait, didn't this thread had remarks by PAR and a couple of others? Including where you stated it would be 8$ per foot? |

| nah, I think you're right, One. 62 feet x 8 equals 496$. Is that what you also get? Or how do you reckon "bd ft" - I'm not english, but isn't it just like "running metres", only in feet? |

| A board foot is 12 inches by 12 inches by 1 inch. A board 6 inches wide and 6 feet long by 1 inch thick is 3 board feet. Robert Gainer |

| Btw, is it just me, but isn't that just a tad expensive? Is Sitka spruce and equivalents a rarity in the US? |
