I have a hard time hiding the modest amount of wood I have stashed. God
knows how he fits 4.7 million bf in his house. Must be single.

Trouble is you don't know how many square feet/foot you'd
have in that 1" stack, i.e., veneer is sliced at different
thicknesses.
Veneer is sold by the square foot. Always has been,
probably always will be unless everyone falls down and
hurts their brains simultaneously in which case we will
probably also find Jimmy Hoffa holed up with a cache of
weapons of mass destruction.

There would still be a problem, because without knowing how thick the veneer
is, you would have no way of knowing how much area it will cover.
Let's suppose your hypothetical one-inch-thick stack of veneer is one foot
wide and two feet long (two square feet).
If each sheet of veneer is 1/32" thick, this one-inch stack will cover 64
square feet. But if each sheet is 1/4" thick, the same one-inch-thick stack
will cover only 8 square feet.
That's why veneer is sold by the square foot: because you need to know how
large an area you can cover with it.

Yeah it does. The phone number belongs to:JENKINS, ERIC

Portland, IN 47371
You would think if it was legit, it would have been a company name
that came up.

What makes you think it sounds fishy?
Maybe that they're selling veneer by the board foot...?

Whats the problem with describing BF of veneer? If you had a stack of
veneer one inch tall, would you have any problem then?

True, but my take in the original post, was that he was just trying to get
everyone to realize that he had LOTS of veneer.
