I'm wanting to make a bulk purchase of lumber from a local supplier who does notstock it. He needs a board feet number to give to the supplier. Anyone have a good number to start with?--------Andy Garrett'General Purpose Creative Dude'Haysville, KansasRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Board feet of lumber

In general, I find that 1 is usually a good number to start with.Seriously, though, did your supplier give you any indication of the size of boardshe would be supplying? You're going to need full 1" finished thickness forthe longerons (and a few other pieces). I have used 2 rough sawn planks 2" x 6" @ 20 ft long - that's 40 board feet (plusa bargain bag of spruce from Aircraft Spruce) to build my ribs, empennage andfuselage. Spar material will be additional to this.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Board feet of lumber

Those are pretty good figures guys!As it turns out, I just sat down with the sub-kit lists available at Aircraft Spruce'swebsite and did the math.Spars are 19bf for 3/4" stock and 25.33bf for 1".The rest adds up to about 42bf.I haven't bothered with the plywood yet.My seller is sourcing both Sitka Spruce (custom cut) and Douglas Fir for me. Wecame up with stock sizes that minimize cuts to keep costs down and still allowme to create the pieces I need using the equipment I now have.I'm a bit worried about quality though being sight unseen. With that in mind, Iam ordering 60bf minus the spar material to allow for plenty of saw loss anderrors. That's almost 50% more than I need (in theory).I'll study some planes, take plenty of pictures, and talk to some folks at Oshkoshbefore I decide which path I wind up taking for spars.Thanks fellas!--------Andy Garrett'General Purpose Creative Dude'Haysville, KansasRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Board feet of lumber

Andy,When I first started looking for Spruce I contacted all of the crap sources andI found that they were maybe 40-ish percent higher than McCormick's lumber inMadison Wisconsin. So if you're traveling to Brodhead and Oshkosh this year for you know anybody whois picking up your lumber in Madison at Mccormicks, or at least check out theirprices.--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Board feet of lumber

2nd the McCormick's route. Note that it's all rough cut so it needs to be resawn, planned and ripped to theappropriate size. I have found a local business though that will mill it downto what i need for very a reasonable price as I do not have a planner.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Board feet of lumber
