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

I'd say it depends on whether you are buying or selling the live edge.:)

My go-to guy always throws in an extra 8" board to cover live edge losses.

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.
