'The best re- sults, however, are obtained, concerning figure, in section C. 'Idle loss in measurement is per cent., and it depends Upon the class of customers the mill man sells to, as to w hether the loss he justified. The advantage is that every board shows figure, and the loss is caused by the edgings being of such slender taper. The sawing for flitches presents much the same problems, with the one idea always predominating—figure and width. W ith the true white oak, which has perhaps the most apparent medullar}' ray, it is an easy task to obtain at least some figure, but many species of "near" white oak require careful handling, close up to the flake, to make a showing. For all such woods proceeding as shown by section 1), Fig. 1, is best. In fact, many veneer men who have their own mills quarter all their stock that way; they lose nothing in measure- ment, as each sheet of veneer is measured, and thus th can leave the flitch as tapering as a defective heart allows. The full measurement of such a Hitch would he about 96 feet, and the eight flitches would just equal the log scale, 76S feet, with ap- proximately 11- feet of strips and lumber addition. Hut according to the prevailing custom the tally for such a flitch would he ox 13 in. by 13 ft., equals 78 ft., or 624 ft. for the eight of them. Now, this difference in measurement has often been the cause of disagreement. A t
