Do you include the bark when calculating board feet of live edge wood?
thanks

Sorry my message is so long, I didn't have time to write a short one.
I'd say it depends on whether you are buying or selling the live edge.

typically, NO.
My go-to guy always throws in an extra 8" board to cover live edge losses.
Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night
No, I do not. I will measure the width to the inside of the bark, and estimate the average width over the length of the board.
I do the same as Scott. Another way is to imagine that the board is edged square, and figure the BF on that width.
Great info, Thanks!
