Is that one board foot total, or each piece of scrap is less than one board foot?

I had the same question about the board foot thing. I have a MESS of reclaimed fence pickets, waterbed panels, and found wood sawn into lumber from Hurricane Ike that is just itching for a project… My only complaint is that the rules will keep me from using my pin nailer. I am getting addicted to that thing…

Martin, What about finishing? Is having a partial can of “wipe on poly” count as scrap? Or are the projects to be submitted with out any finish on them?

I want to make a desk out of some 3’ x 3” pcs of 100 year old maple that I took out of an old farmhouse (was a hardwood floor) but I don’t know about making the drawer slides out of the wood. I would have to buy new and I think this would disqualify it.

Scraps, what’s a scrap? More often than not my scraps keep getting smaller and smaller until they end up in a
Flat-rate box going to pen makers and segmenters for cost of mailing.
