Why not build Mom (or your wife or daughter) a potting bench? Buy the Craft Pattern plan in the Workbench for $8.95 and 100 board feet of Northern White Cedar R1E S2S to ¾ for $190. This will give you more than enough for 2 potting benches and enough left over for some window boxes. |

| 7665 5/4 S&B Soft Maple Brown |
 |
Mike sorted this package special for brown or heart as the rules state. Lengths run 9-10' and would
make plenty of material for many furniture projects on your to-do list. If you're in the market to make
a set of book shelves, check-out the plans available in the Workbench. The plan I saw is called a
"low cost bookcase" made from plywood in Woodsmith Magazine No. 159. You could still keep it
low cost but improve on the design by making a sturdier and long lasting set of bookcases with this
soft maple. At $1.99 @ bf, this 335' package would total $667.00 and help you furnish a small library!

Excel works great when you have the parts list for this bed. Multiply the rough thickness, finished
width, and length in inches, divide by 144 for the board feet of each item. This gives the net
footage of finished parts, or 33, 28 and 8. A rule of thumb for waste building furniture is 1.5, so
we round off at 50, 40, and 12, for and estimate. Because we're dealing with rough lumber and some
defects we haven't seen yet, this should be considered the minimum needed. The rest depends on the
skills of the woodworker.

| Huntboard |
this attractive piece won't take 100bf of lumber,our first price break, unless you make several
mistakes, but anyone who does a nice job building this will be hounded by their spouse to build more so
stock up on the wood. pictured in quartered cherry, birch, & an accent of ebony, you may think of
substituting birds eye or curly maple for the birch. quartered white oak would make a nice sideboard as
well. approximate footage needed:
6 bf 8/4 cherry
40 bf 4/4 cherry
15 bf 4/4 poplar
2 bf 4/4 birch
0.5 bf ebony
