Inge-Stoneham House — materials
A rough list to take to a sawmill. The frame is cut green — full-sawn timbers straight from the log — and pinned with dry oak pegs: as the timbers dry they shrink onto the pegs, and the drawbored joints pull tighter. The mill cuts every stick to its section and length; the framer cuts the joints.
Each length is the piece’s cut length plus 10 in for tenons and trimming, rounded up to the foot. A piece longer than 24 ft is ordered in two or more lengths joined by a scarf (A2-16), except a post or a rafter is not scarfed. Board feet are full-sawn: width × depth × feet ÷ 12. Sizes follow the model, which is proportioned from measured drawings, not engineered — a frame that will carry a load is sized by an engineer first.

20,358 board feet of green timber in 777 pieces.
42 members are longer than a 24 ft stick and are scarfed.
6 members are longer than a 24 ft stick — a post or a rafter is not scarfed, so these are a special order at full length.
Pegs: 106 of dry oak, 1 in by 14 in, estimated joint by joint — order a tenth over. Keys: 12 dry oak keys for the tusk tenons.
Boards: floors about 3,277 sq ft at 1 1/4 in thick (≈4,097 board feet); roof boards about 4,484 sq ft at 1 in (≈4,484 board feet). Add for waste.
Not in this list: stone, brick and mortar; siding, trim, windows and doors; roofing; nails. Nothing here is priced.
