OK, this is gonna sound stupid, but walking through a Bed, Bath and Beyond, my wife and I saw a "large", which was about 12" X 18", (made in china, so probably metric), or big enough to carve up your typical turkey or standing rib roast. A "small", was about 9" X 12", or comfortable enough to do a brisket or small ham or roast. These are all relative, and to make matters worse, they might change in different parts of the country.
start at 12"x18", and send him a picture. Then add 2 more inches in both directions. Send him another picture. Then add 2 more inches. Send yet another picture, with the caption "Say when."
Sizing like that is very relative, if you look at at a Cabela's catalog many things come in Large, Extra Large and Magnum. In that case the large translates to small. I'd ask for clarification and settle on a dimension before I went to the lumber yard.
OII ...
ask if one 14" x 23" is what he had in mind
thats little over the half of a kitchentable wide and short enoff to go
in a standard closet so he still can close the door on it
I would get exact dimensions to make sure you are not spending to much on lumber. If you got a lot of "scrap" lumber already on hand, go nuts and make a couple of different sizes in the wood choices he listed and charge him extra for your time.
