How It Works
When budgeting a woodworking project, always add a waste factor of 10-20% to account for defects, miscuts, and offcuts. Hardwood lumber is sold by the board foot while softwood (construction lumber) is sold by the linear foot. Buying rough-sawn lumber from a sawmill is typically 30-50% cheaper than surfaced lumber from a retail store.
