Ok, so using the thin kerf blade and the 3/16 I should get 14 strips out of a 1 x 4, (in a perfect world)

3.5/.2445 = 14.3149284

The smart Dan says: "I figure a BP usually uses about 800 LF of 3/4" wide strips, allowing for 15% waste"

It sounds like 10 - 1x4x10' will be plenty if I am reading this right, knocking my count down to 12 per piece instead of 14

Are 10' pieces the best way to go? Shouldn't I mix in some 8's to space my scarfs?
