DDT,

I wouldn't bet a plug nickel on this one but, I always thought that Grade was the rate of rise of the road bed i.e the change in vertical rise divided by the change in horizontal run. If this is true then a three foot run and 1 ft rise is ~ 18 1/2 degrees. If grade is defined as rate of rise in distance traveled then 3 ft traveled with a 1 ft rise is just a tad under 20 degrees.
A 5% grade on a higway is a steep grade and no matter which way you define it they are the same to the third decimal point. The sin is equal to the tan within 0.4% for angles less than 5 degrees.

TWINKLE_TOES,
Becareful!!! you might teach me somthing. I guess I don't know nothing about about grade, but since I build cabinets for a living I'll stick to degree's. at least I know what that is. Thanks for the education.

I would have to know something to do that. On this one I am really not sure which way grade is defined. I bet someone will make this straight.

But now to the important stuff, cabinets. Do you know anyplace to get rough 5/4, 1/4 sawn white oak. I bought a whole bunch 20 years ago from an add in Fine Woodworking. It came from a veneer mill in Cockyville, Maryland. I don't have enough left to build a toilet seat, not that I would.

I suppose I might be more likely to sin if there was something tan anywhere near the dangle...and I don't have ANY degrees.

TWINKLE_TOES,
I can see if I can find some, But how many BF do you want?
There is alot of White Oak in my area. When I need some I get it locally miled and dryed. DDT

DDT,

Last time I purchased about 8,000 bd ft and had it kilm dried in Maryland, then shipped here. I will mill it myself.

Just for the sake of an estimate lets say 1000 bd ft. I'm thinking cabinet grade stuff and quarter sawn is a must.

If you can give me a contact then you can get out of the loop. Thanks in advance.

Twinkle Toes,

I may have a contact for quarter sawn oak down here in Georgia. Is that farther away from you than you want to deal with? I know shipping can add to much to the cost. Also, do you want red oak or white? I'll check with my supplier next time I am out that way.

Twinkle Toes,

Just reread the other post and see that it is white oak you want. I'll check.

Mark,
How wide can you get the 1/4 sawn white oak boards in? I sometimes need wide boards for antique funr. repair.
