Been thinking again, I know that's dangerous thing and all but...
What's your thoughts about these two lumber thicknesses, 9/4 and 5/4? The way I'm thinking about it is, those who like book matched boards could re-saw 9/4 into two 4/4 boards (3/4 finished) and those folks who like full 2" finished stock could get it out of 9/4 (rocker makers). Also those who like to work with full 1" stock would be able to get it with 5/4 or re-saw in half for two 3/4 for 1/2" dressed book matched boards.
I'm sure this isn't a new idea, but it kind of makes sense and seems that a lot of the more common dimensions are pretty much covered with just the two rough-sawn thicknesses (5/4 and 9/4).
1/2" finished (book matched) = 5/4
3/4" finished (book matched) = 9/4
1" finished = 5/4
2" finished = 9/4
Since I've had my mill I've had no one ask for 6/4 which would finish to 1 1/4", Other than a few folks who wanted to use softwood for framing material.
Thoughts please...
Thanks
