  As a skilled carpenter who’s used to measuring wood, this is the only answer.

    I’m interested in your wood measuring services.

    … For a friend

    Well… It kinda depends. If I were to be ordering stock to recreate the branch or even if I were making a covering for the branch. I’d have to order at least 6 inches of material to cut down.

    So I think it matters most how you are intending to use it.

    Oh you’re a skilled carpenter? How much wood have you cut in your time

    • Tess@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Half as much as they have measured, is my guess.

        THIS ia getting philosophical… i mean, first of all, things don’t need to be cut perfectly in half every time they’re cut.

        But then your answer is probably an estimate/approximation.

        HOWEVER… when you cut one piece of wood into two, is not 100% of the wood cut into?

        So either this carpenter measures 50% of his wood aimlessly, or you, sir, are a LIAR

  That’s not how it works with soft bodies though, method B represents potential useable length when pointing down. It’s only distorted because it’s pointing up. For rigid bodies, I’d agree.

    So… Non rigid?

  Usable length is relative…
