Had to choose between a magnesium and a wood float on a big garage pour yesterday.
The mix was a little wet, so I went with the wood float first to close it up without pulling too much water. It worked out fine, but I'm curious if anyone would have done it the other way around on a 40 yard pour like that.

Forty yards? That's a monster pour.

Choices like that are everywhere once you start looking. Picking the right tool for the exact conditions you're in. Not just what the book says. Saw it all the time when I was learning the trade. You read the mix, you pick your float. Same with most hands-on jobs. The theory is one thing, but the mud in front of you is what matters. Good call going with the wood.
