  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

    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

        I believe they were alluding to “measure twice, cut once”
