No problem, you can get as close to perfect as you like.

That's a bit much. I hear measure twice, cut once. Or was it measure
thrice, cut once. Now I've see some carpenters cut a board one saw width
shorter. That was when I was a kid and they did than with a hand saw. I
used to collect the thick one's up to a quarter inch thick.
