: 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?

You could stagger the scarfs fore and aft alternately.
