You'll get a copy of the rule book there. Also try dealing with a customer who's fair and will allow his experienced lumber inspector to work with you. It's only to their advantage to help you because it makes their job easier. Always ask questions. Pick their brian.
Net tally is the actual footage of a piece as it sits, right now.
In this case you will buy 1000 BF net footage based on the green measurement. If you measure it after kiln drying, it will no longer be 1000 BF and probably the grade will drop on some pieces too. So, never do this. Plus, for example, when an 8 BF piece shrinks and is now 7 BF, you are allowed only one FAS cutting instead of two, so the grade may drop. E-mail us and let us know what you think.
