How do you use a board foot measuring stick
A friend of mine has an old measuring tool which seems to be a log board foot measuring tool. The wood portion is about 4 ft long and 1 1/2" square, with each side having several rows of numbres similar to the picture. He would like to learn how it is used.
has anyone came across instructions for this type of tool?

The Rxpensive Sticks Are the ones my yard uses
It seems when the sales person gets throught wielding his stick he comes up with a total about 25% more than I did with a simple tape measure. The more expensive stick pays off if you are the seller.
