One specific question I had was figuring out the cost of materials used in a project...

For example: Say I have a block of wood 1"x 1"x 12" that cost $50, and I cut a slab 1/8" thick to use for a project, how do I figure out what the cost of that material is?

25 percent figuring a 1/8 kerf if the slab is 1/8 x 1 x 12
