5/4 oak that will finish at 2" thick, eh? Hmm... And I'll bet you never have to worry about cutting it too short, because no matter how many times you cut it it's always too long!

"John Grossbohlin" showed us a funny ad

He not only wants some magical oak, he wants it for a dollar!

Wishful thinking? Delusional? Profound ignorance?

We were taught to use distinctly different pronunciations for the numerals 5 and 9 because of their similar sound in radio transmissions. Let's give the poor guy the benefit of the doubt on the thickness. Maybe somebody told him and he heard wrong.

Now the $1 figure is a little harder to understand unless all he needs is a few square inches.

Extreme patience. Get the guy a 5/4 tall oak tree, and he can wait until it is large enough to finish at 2" thick.

Shoot, if somebody has got that kind of stuff, I'll pay for shipping from wherever they are.
