XP-8 Bill of Materials

DO NOT PURCHASE ANY MATERIAL UNTIL YOU READ THIS SECTION.
LUMBER: All lumber listed as 1" is "Four quarters" stock finished as full as possible. This will generally result in lumber 3/4" to 7/8" thick. All thicknesses under 1" are to be considered net as are all widths, unless noted otherwise. All lengths allow stock for trimming to fit. We suggest grouping widths and lengths and re-sawing to size if a circular saw is available. This will result in a considerable savings on the lumber. ALL PLYWOOD must be an Exterior type. Grades of plywood are noted. All plywood 3/16" or 1/4" thick is to be three ply. All thicker plywood to be a minimum of five ply.
CHECK ALL SIZES TO THE WORK PRIOR TO CUTTING. Abbreviations used are: Mahog = mahogany; Sp = spruce; DF = Douglas-fir; PW=plywood; Ext=exterior; Mar=Marine.
