: In Italy at lumberyards you buy wood on cubic measures: that long that wide
: that thick its this much cubic meters so you owe this..., pretty simple

: the only stuff with odd measure (a 2cm ply will infact be 1.9cm, that to
: accomodate an eventual lamination on top). Few years im here in NA and i
: still get pi... off when i have to go get extra wood just because of that
: fraction of an inch.
Well actually in the better lumber yards in the states you pay the same way, by the board foot ie: 12" wide by 12" long by 1" thick. If the wood is a smaller dimmension you just do the math and pay for what you get.
